The company has been central to developing new industries, particularly in the Rogaland region, based on innovative solutions from researchers, entrepreneurs, and established industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valid\u00e9 Invest II is the company&#8217;s second pre-seed fund and invests in Norwegian companies that are in their very early stages, but where the growth potential is significant. The fund focuses on future-oriented energy solutions and climate technology, health, and smart technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Innovation ecosystem<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are limited private investors and funds investing in early-stage companies where the need for capital is great, but the risk is also high. By providing expertise and capital to such startups, a well-functioning ecosystem for ideas, projects, and technologies is facilitated, while the companies can make their projects attractive to other types of investors. This, in turn, can contribute to the emergence of projects that accelerate the green transition.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valid\u00e9 Invest is committed to backing entrepreneurs and researchers who develop the very latest solutions for the society of the future. Access to knowledgeable and professional capital in the early phase will bring even more solutions and entrepreneurs to the fore. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n        <aside class=\"case-article__aside\">\n            <div class=\"case-article__logo-wrapper\">\n                            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"896\" src=\"https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Valide-logo_black-1440x896.png\" class=\"case-article__logo\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Valide-logo_black-1440x896.png 1440w, https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Valide-logo_black-960x597.png 960w, https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Valide-logo_black-768x478.png 768w, https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Valide-logo_black-1536x955.png 1536w, https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Valide-logo_black.png 1743w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>                        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"case-article__info\">\n                        <div>\n                    <h4>Segments<\/h4>\n                    <div class=\"microcopy\">\n                                            Pre-seed                                        <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                        <div>\n                    <h4>Markets<\/h4>\n                    <div class=\"microcopy\">\n                                            Europe                                        <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                        <div>\n                    <h4>Website<\/h4>\n                    <div class=\"microcopy\">\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/valide.no\/\" class=\"text-accent-razzmatazz-700\">valide.no<\/a>\n                                        <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                        <div>\n                    <h4>Investment year<\/h4>\n                    <div class=\"microcopy\">\n                                            2021                                        <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n        <\/aside>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Norwegian pre-seed fund with a primary focus on strengthening the innovation ecosystem within the climate sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2254,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"case-market":[29],"case-segment":[104],"case-type":[42],"class_list":["post-2252","case","type-case","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","case-market-europe","case-segment-pre-seed","case-type-fund"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case\/2252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/case"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"case-market","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case-market?post=2252"},{"taxonomy":"case-segment","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case-segment?post=2252"},{"taxonomy":"case-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nysnoinvest.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case-type?post=2252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
