Lemnos VC

Lemnos VC is a venture firm that invests in hardware startups at their earliest stages. It works where hardware meets software, spending its time with founders who are still shaping a first product.

What Lemnos VC offers

• Pre-seed and seed investment — backs startups from the point where only the founders are on board through to small growing teams.
• Founder guidance — helps hardware founders understand their customer, anticipate problems and make use of the assets they already have.
• Engineering and manufacturing input — works with founders on turning a design into a product that can actually be built.
• Marketing and financial support — adds go-to-market thinking and funding alongside the technical help.
• Workspace for new founders — occasionally lets entrepreneurs who are still forming their next idea work from the firm while they settle on a team and a plan.

Who it works with
