1st Move is dedicated to discovering innovative and scalable business projects with strong market potential. 1st Move asks for a solid business plan supported by numbers and concrete plans for initial sales. ​To be considered for an investment, several criteria must be fulfilled: the idea, value proposition, description of market, customers and competition, commercial idea and strategy, and key people. Our sister company, 1st Mile (https://1stmile.dk), assists companies finding soft funding through anything from Innobooster to large EU funding programs. We hence have a strong network in the investment community and often enable syndication options and pull in other high-level investors for cases, as well as point towards public funding options to the startups we invest in. We are approved under Vækstfondens BA COVID-19 program and can hence gear our contribution three times with a loan.
