Fairpoint Capital: A B2B Technology Investment Fund with a Strong Legacy in the Nordic Region
Founded as a result of the technology team at SEB Venture Capital, Fairpoint Capital is a B2B technology investment fund that focuses on early growth stage companies. Although independent from SEB, the bank remains its main investor, along with other institutions that have a close relationship with the bank. With over two decades of experience in technology venture capital investments, Fairpoint Capital boasts a strong track record with exits in more than 50 technology companies. Some of these exits include Tail-f Systems, Donya Labs, Kreatel, Bluetail, Diakrit, and Coresonic, which were acquired by major trade buyers such as Microsoft, Cisco, Mediatek, Telia, Intel, NewsCorp, and CGI.
As an active investor, Fairpoint Capital specializes in minority investments in companies ranging from late seed to B round funding. Initial investments typically fall between 10-40 million SEK (Swedish Krona), but total exposure towards a specific company can be considerably higher during the holding period.
