Initiative overview
EquiFund is a Greek investment initiative designed to expand access to finance for start-ups and strengthen the country’s innovation ecosystem. Managed with support from the European Investment Fund (EIF) and national partners, it provides equity financing to help young companies move from the seed stage through to growth. Funds within the program - such as the Innovation Window and Early-Stage Window - target technology-driven firms, including those applying AI. These funds channel capital to entrepreneurs developing scalable solutions, aiming to close the funding gap for high-potential start-ups.
The successor programme, EquiFund II, builds on this model with a focus on Life Sciences & Healthcare and Sustainability & Social Impact, ensuring that investment continues to flow into sectors with both economic and societal relevance.
