  • Nordic Forestry Automation

    Participated · Equity · Jul 2026

    Nordic Forestry Automation builds physical-AI driven systems, sensor-fusion and robotic solutions for forestry machines, including proprietary software that enables harvesters to measure trees in real time. Its first commercial product is already in use across seven markets on three continents, and its systems have logged more than 20,000 hours of operation. The company partners with large forestry organisations such as Sveaskog, Södra Skogsägarna, Holmen and Weyerhaeuser.

  • Saveggy

    Participated · Equity · Oct 2025

    Founded in 2020 in Sweden, Saveggy offers a two-ingredient, edible coating made from rapeseed and oat oils that shields produce and prolongs freshness, eliminating the need for single-use polyethylene wraps. The technology is currently being piloted with retailer ICA and grower Odlarna.se, covering about 250,000 cucumbers across 700 Swedish stores. By targeting produce like cucumbers, which account for more than 3,000 tonnes of plastic packaging annually in the EU, the company addresses both food waste and plastic pollution. Early research and development were carried out in collaboration with Lund University, Aarhus University, the European Institute of Technology (EIT) and other value-chain stakeholders. To date, Saveggy has secured €2.5 million from investors including Fåhraeus Startup and Growth, LRF Ventures, Unconventional Ventures, Almi Greentech and Smile Inject Capital. The startup plans to expand its coating to additional produce categories and new geographic markets following the trial. Management is preparing for a larger funding round targeted for 2026 to scale commercial production and distribution.

  • Acamp

    Participated · Equity · Mar 2022

    Acamp operates a platform where private and commercial hosts can list unused land and curated experiences for campers to book, targeting the active camping market in Sweden and the Nordics. Founded in 2020 by Paul Berggren and Öjje Holt, the company aims to make it easy to advertise, find and book great places to camp. Acamp recently acquired the Ställplatser app to gain its dataset of destinations and user behaviour and to expand its reach. Ställplatser has over 100,000 active users and functions as a popular community and register for campers and hosts. The acquisition is intended to introduce Acamp to the wider Nordic market and support its journey toward expansion across Europe. Acamp also secured recent funding of €2.5 million from Spintop Ventures, LRF Ventures and Centripetal Capital to support growth and expansion.
