For investors

Through the Match Loan scheme, your investment in a startup can be supplemented with a loan from EIFO on a 1:1 basis.

This means that if you invest, for example, DKK 1 million in a company, EIFO can provide a loan of an additional DKK 1 million on the same terms. In this way, the total capital in the company is increased without you having to increase your own investment correspondingly. This means that:

• You gain greater investment power in the early stages
• EIFO helps share the risk in very early-stage companies
• Your capital has a greater impact in the portfolio company
• The startup gains better financial conditions for growth

The Match Loan is targeted at investments in very early-stage companies and allows you to support your investments with additional financing—without changing the ownership structure.

EIFO works to ensure access to risk capital in the earliest stages of company development. Here, private investors play a key role—especially in phases where the market is still immature and the risk is high.

We work with a broad group of investors, including:

• Business angels
• Family offices
• Syndicates
• Smaller venture funds and commercial foundations

Investors who use EIFO’s Match Loan scheme come from many different industries and have very diverse professional backgrounds. This broad composition contributes to high portfolio diversity and provides access to capital also for startups operating in niches or new technological areas.

By investing alongside many specialized investors, EIFO can help support a wide range of companies—including those that may otherwise find it difficult to raise capital at an early stage.
