  The European Research Council (ERC), established by the European Union in 2007, is the premier European funding organisation for excellent frontier research. The ERC funds creative researchers of any nationality and age to run projects based in Europe. The ERC offers four core grant schemes: Starting Grants, Consolidator Grants, Advanced Grants, and Synergy Grants, along with an additional Proof of Concept Grant scheme to help grantees explore the innovation potential of their research. The ERC's mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields, based on scientific excellence.

investment_thesis:
  ["The ERC Scientific Council created a Working Group on 'Innovation and relations with industry' to enhance relationships with industry and develop the Proof of Concept (PoC) scheme.", "The ERC supports frontier research that is expected to generate major socio-economic benefits for Europe.", "Public funding by the ERC focuses on frontier research, addressing industry under-investment due to unpredictable returns.", "The PoC grants serve as launchpads for further public and private funding, with former grantees attracting over EUR 200 million follow-up funding.", "Priority areas for investment include health biotechnologies, medical technologies, advanced materials, AI and ICT, quantum technologies, green innovation, social innovation, and creative sectors."]

researcher_notes:
  The ERC does not operate as a traditional investment firm but as a funding body for frontier research projects. There are no traditional funds or portfolio companies. The overall budget is EUR 16 billion for 2021-2027 under Horizon Europe. Investment size relates to grant maximums per project rather than typical ticket sizes. This information was derived directly from official ERC pages.

  Farvatn, the Norwegian word for waters, is derived from the Norse word ‘fara’, meaning ‘journey’, and ‘vatn’, meaning ‘water’. With a rich shipping history, Farvatn is familiar with journeys at sea. In 2016, Farvatn embarked on a new voyage as a diversified investment company, exploring both the known navigable channels and the uncharted territory of the financial markets. Farvatn’s roots trace back to the founding of the JO Group in 1915, initially specializing in timber freight. The company later shifted focus towards the chemical tanker industry and became the world’s third-largest operator of advanced chemical tanker vessels. In 2016, JO Tankers was sold to Stolt Nielsen, marking the end of a hundred years of industrial shipping and the beginning of a new century as a diversified investment company. Farvatn is a Norwegian family-owned company seeking profitable impact investments, leaving a positive footprint on the world. They continuously look for new investment opportunities with attractive long-term, risk-adjusted returns and aim to direct capital towards exceptional ideas, teams, and capital partners. Their story is built on a legacy of contrarian thinking, fairness, and trust—values deeply instilled in their culture. They invest across asset classes including real estate, shipping, private equity, equities, bonds, and venture, with flexibility in investment structures and preference for partnering with like-minded investors and family offices.

We want to find and invest in these companies. We partner with founders around the world, across sectors, and at various stages, primarily before success is obvious. We measure our success not merely by exceptional returns but by the impact we create through our mission-driven limited partners. We aspire to achieve 'success with empathy': empathy for our founders, for their employees, for our limited partners, and for the people across the world that our companies serve.
