Katalysen Ventures
Co-Investing in Turnaround Cases
Katalysen Ventures was founded in 2016 in Stockholm, Sweden, and has grown into a collaborative investment partner for owner-led companies navigating complex or transitional situations. The firm combines capital, hands-on support, and strategic alignment to help companies move through moments of uncertainty where structure, expertise, and active ownership make the greatest difference. Katalysen focuses on special situations where time, clarity, and collaboration can unlock meaningful value for both founders and investors.
Always with Shared Incentives
Katalysen’s model is built on shared incentives. Through carefully designed structures and the Venture Targeter framework, the team works closely with management and co-investors to create solutions that are fair, transparent, and oriented toward long-term value creation. The firm often enters situations where companies face capital constraints, structural challenges, pivots, or ownership transitions, and where thoughtful repositioning can open new opportunities.
With a core portfolio that includes technology-driven B2B and deep-specialist companies, Katalysen brings operational support, access to networks, and structured capital solutions to help businesses execute clearly and confidently. The firm’s role is to be an active partner: shaping strategy, improving execution, strengthening governance, and preparing companies for the next chapter.
