Seed to A-round funding
We invest in early-stage companies, from seed to A-round funding, and sometimes earlier. Our first ticket is often 10-50 million SEK, with the capacity to invest considerably more during the lifecycle. Smaller tickets are also considered in an earlier stage for exceptional technologies.
In it for the long run
Our fund has an evergreen structure allowing us to focus less on short-term wins and focus more on investments that will create long-term value.
