We invest our own capital, and build the companies we'd rather own outright.

Nashsphere is a Sweden-based four-person firm backed by a broad investor base. We back founders, take positions in public markets, and build our own products.

Companies we and our founders have backed

  • OpenAI
  • NVIDIA

How we invest

Four ways we put capital to work.

Different shots on goal — angel bets, private rounds, public positions, and the products we build — chosen so the wins don't all rise and fall together.

  1. 01

    Angel investing.

    First cheques into founders we'd happily work for. Small, early, and hands-on when it helps — out of the way when it doesn't.

  2. 02

    Early-stage private rounds.

    Seed to Series A, usually alongside people we've known for years. A real cheque, and a line on the cap table we mean to keep.

  3. 03

    Public companies & IPOs.

    We hold listed positions and step into IPOs when the price and the business finally agree. Patience is most of the strategy.

  4. 04

    In-house product development.

    Some bets are easier to simply own. When that's true, the four of us build the company ourselves rather than write a cheque.

Where we look

Three industries, for now.

We stay close to what we understand. The list grows slowly, and only when one of us has actually lived the problem.

  • Tech, AI, robotics & security.

    Frontier technology

    Where software starts touching the physical world — automation, intelligent systems, and the security that has to travel with them.

  • Fintech.

    Financial infrastructure

    The plumbing of money: payments, lending, and the unglamorous rails that quietly compound over a decade.

  • Real estate.

    Property & yield

    Bricks and yield — a ballast of harder assets to steady the book against the volatility everywhere else.

The partners

Four founders. One book.

We've worked together long enough to disagree well, which turns out to be most of the job when you're investing your own money.
