East Sweden Capital creates new opportunities for investment in start-ups developed within the LEAD business incubator. The aim is to ensure a long-term supply of capital and thereby strengthen innovation in the region. <\/p>\n

East Sweden Capital will be led by Bj\u00f6rn Persson as Investment Manager. He has extensive experience of investing in startups, most recently from LRF Ventures and has previously held key roles at Spiltan Invest and Almi Invest. <\/p>\n

– “We want to create a sustainable model where startups in \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland have better conditions to grow and become ready for larger investments. At the same time, it will be easier for business angels to find companies that match their investment profile,” says Bj\u00f6rn Persson. <\/p>\n

This long-term initiative will not only increase the flow of capital to promising companies, but also provide an opportunity for business angels to invest in a structured environment. The ambition is to attract more investors to the region and broaden the network of angel investors, including more female investors. <\/p>\n

– Early-stage capital is crucial for entrepreneurs to realize their ideas and build new companies based on innovative technologies. Success requires a long-term strategy,” says Johan Lilliecreutz, CEO of LiU Holding. <\/p>\n

The initiative has been developed in collaboration with the existing investment networks Norcopius and Link\u00f6pings Aff\u00e4rs\u00e4nglar.<\/p>\n
