Founders backing founders.Built for the next generation of Swedish tech.
Disruptive Ventures is an AI-first operational investor. We back tech companies with capital and operational experts who have actually built and scaled before. Hands-on. Long-term. The partner we wished we'd had.
Why we exist.
We professionalise company building in the early phases.
Disruptive Ventures exists because we couldn't find the partner we wanted as founders ourselves.
Niklas had built StudentConsulting to SEK 700M in revenue, taken Codemill to IPO, and sold Vaccina to Kry. Pontus had built Vaccina from zero to over SEK 300M in revenue and SEK 75M in profit in 2.5 years. Both knew what it actually takes to scale a Swedish tech company, and what it costs not to have operational experts and specialists next to you. So they built the firm they wished they'd had. Together with the best company builders they had ever met.
Capital, plus operational experts. Long-term, not fund-timed. Hands-on, not board-seat-only. That's still the model. Now with AI built into how we work, so a small team can show up like a much larger one.
What we believe.
Operational beats passive. Every time.
A board seat at the quarterly review isn't a business partner. We have sat in those sales meetings before, we know which distribution partners in our network actually open the door, and we have made the key hires and set the pricing in our own companies. It is in the operational work that growth companies actually get built.
Evergreen beats fund clocks.
No clock ticking against you. We back companies through every phase, and if you want to sell, we help you sell to the right buyer at the right price.
AI changes the firm, not just the output.
We rebuilt our whole way of working around AI, from sourcing to scaling. That's how we work internally, and that's how we back founders.
Sweden has the research. Companies need the commercial.
One of Europe's strongest research bases, one of its weakest commercialization rates. Closing that gap is the work.
How we're built.
Disruptive Ventures is owned by the founding team together with Unlox and Navigare AB. The capital is evergreen. No fund clock. The structure is deliberate: it lets us back the company on your timeline, not ours.
The firm is led by an operational team. Most of what we do happens directly between our operational experts and the companies. The tone is positive and the contact is daily, weekly or monthly depending on what the company needs.
