Our specialization strategy:

At the forefront

LeanSquare is a fund that belongs to the Noshaq Group. It is at the forefront of three innovative markets:

Cultural and Creative Industries
Enterprise Software
Life Sciences

These are promising and impactful industries, where LeanSquare is a reference player on an international scale. By focusing on these key ecosystems, we also ensure that each new investment reinforces the previous ones. At LeanSquare, we believe that an ecosystem is greater than the sum of its parts.

Cultural and Creative Industries

The cultural and creative industries encompass a wide range of sectors, including MusicTech, e-sports, gaming and digital media. These industries are a major economic driver, generating employment and income. They are also recognised for their ability to promote cultural diversity and facilitate cultural exchanges between different countries and regions of the world.

Enterprise Software

These are companies that design, develop and market software for businesses. They offer solutions for data management, security, communication, productivity and collaboration. Software companies are often at the forefront of technological innovation.

Life Sciences

Life Sciences companies specialise in the research, development and marketing of products and services in the fields of biology, medicine, pharmaceuticals and medical devices. They are committed to improving people’s health and well-being, with a focus on innovation and quality.

Our target

Innovative project leaders

LeanSquare is looking for innovative projects consistent with the fund’s specialization strategy and that have already reached a certain level of maturity. We fund projects with a well-defined product/market fit that enjoy real customer traction (Seed/Serie A).

Rather than aiming for short-term profitability, we are in for the long haul and seek to build a relationship of trust with entrepreneurs while strengthening our ecosystems in return.
