About us

  • Novabase Capital, Sociedade de Capital de Risco, SA is a venture capital firm owned entirely by Novabase SGPS, SA. Its main purpose is to find and support Portuguese ICT business projects – in early development or expanding – with high value potential.

     

    Novabase Capital boasts unique, specific expertise in the sector and a long track record in the development of technology-based SMEs throughout Portugal.
     
    Novabase Capital has stakes in three venture capital funds worth a total of €23.5 million. The first, FCR Novabase Capital, is now fully invested, with a provision of €7.1 million held by Novabase Capital (30%) and IAPMEI/Institute for the Support of Small and Medium Enterprises (70%) through the PRIME Program, with co-funding from the European Union via the ERDF.
     
    The Novabase Capital Inovação e Internacionalização venture capital fund, totalling €11.36 million, has two separate provisions. The first, with a provision of €1.26 million and a €0.5 million contribution from the POR Lisboa program, is dedicated to the Lisbon region and early-stage projects.

    The second, with a provision of €10.1 million and a €5 million contribution from the COMPETE program, is dedicated to the Northern, Central and Alentejo regions for technology-based SME innovation, modernization and internationalization projects.

    Finally, the FCR IStart I fund, totalling €5.02 million, is aimed at supporting new proofs-of-concept and prototypes, and developing intellectual property and business models. It has a provision of €2.522 million for the Lisbon region (with a contribution of €1.008 million from the POR Lisboa program), and a provision of €2.5 million for the Northern, Central and Alentejo regions (with a contribution from the COMPETE program). Novabase Capital has a €0.3 million stake in this fund, which is managed by ES Ventures.

     
    The latter two funds are backed by the COMPETE and POR Lisboa programs, and are part of the National Strategic Reference Framework (QREN) with co-funding from the European Union via the ERDF.
