Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

First Bight Ventures: Veronica Breckenridge shares how to get funded in 2026
Q: What beliefs do you hold that many people disagree with as an investor, and how did that inform your fund thesis?
I have always been contrarian, especially around industrial biotech and the notion that heavy capex makes it non-venture-worthy. By leveraging asset-light financing and strategic debt instruments, it's possible to scale with solid equity returns, even in asset-heavy sectors.
Seaqure Labs: Johan Henriksson shares how to get funded in 2025
Q: What IP and university relationships affected your fundraising and structure as a spin-off?
Sweden's teacher's exemption allowed researchers to own their inventions from scratch, and Seaqure Labs acquired IP from the researchers who co-founded the company. This supported a smoother spin-out and helped articulate the deep-tech value to investors.
Seaqure Labs: Johan Henriksson shares how to get funded in 2025
Q: How did you approach valuations at pre-seed and what guided your dilution expectations?
Valuation was guided by fundraising goals and market conditions. They started with a higher pre-seed valuation influenced by programs like MassChallenge, but as market realities shifted, they accepted a more conservative stance, emphasizing proof of concept and path to the next round rather than a high early valuation.
Seaqure Labs: Johan Henriksson shares how to get funded in 2025
Q: What was the biggest objection you had to face in the fundraising, and how did you overcome it?
The biggest challenge was overestimating interest in agri-food tech from European VCs and the difficulty of selling the vision to sector-specific investors in Germany, Finland, and Switzerland. They pivoted to Swedish VCs and focus on building a robust, diversified revenue model rather than depending on a single sustainability narrative.
Seaqure Labs: Johan Henriksson shares how to get funded in 2025
Q: Tell me a little bit about how you met your lead investor in this round.
Johan explains the process started with informal meetings and a relationship with Almi, a Swedish government-backed fund, which helped them access more traditional VC introductions. Over time, as they demonstrated progress and a sustainable edge, they expanded to regional and Swedish investors, aided by multiple angel networks and co-investors to support the round.
