About Walerud Ventures
See portfolio http://www.walerud.com/portfolio IN THE TRENCHES We join at the very early stages, often from just an idea and a couple of people. We spend a day a week with you to help set up the early team, strategy and sales. We'll join you in packing boxes, (wo)man the booth at trade shows, and as CxO as necessary. Since wework so closely with our startups we only take on a few at a time. Therefore, we make sure to select projects that make our hearts sing. LONG & CURRENT EXPERIENCE Of the 18 companies we have been heavily involved in, four have become world class successes (Klarna, Tobii, Lensway, Bluetail) and another ten had good and profitable exits or are growing nicely. We've also coached hundreds of startups and work very hard to make our startups successful. DEEP TECH We are techie and curious, and will understand your product. We've started companies in areas including AI, 3D, solar cells, fintech, telecom and biotech and have worked in tech for a long time: Jane was once a teaching assistant for a programming course at Stanford, Bengt is a top multivariate statistical analyst, and Caroline studied natural sciences at Cambridge. We like companies with sustainable competitive advantages and entry barriers. WHAT WE LOOK FOR Fantastic founders with full focus on ONE product that solves a problem that HURTS. Selling to a growing market with high margins. A brilliant, hard working, self motivated, open team with complementary skills and integrity. Since we work hard with you, we want to be close: within commuting distance from Stockholm. We speak Swedish and English. INVESTMENT We are on the entrepreneur's side. We want a painless investment process so we can get on with building the company with you. Therefore we do standard, simple and fair contracts (eg startupdocs.se) want the founders to own the lion's share of the company. We invest 1-10M SEK and take a board seat.
