As part of the EquiFund investment platform, Uni.fund operates within a broader initiative established through collaboration between the Hellenic Republic and the European Investment Fund (EIF). This platform is financed through multiple sources including the Greek ESIF Fund of Funds TAESYM under the European Regional Development Fund, the EIF itself, and private investors. The primary objective is enhancing access to finance for Greek SMEs by developing the country's Venture Capital and Private Equity landscape through partnerships with selected Financial Intermediaries. This structure allows Uni.fund to leverage European resources while maintaining a distinctly Greek focus on local entrepreneurial talent.
