Peter is a life-long entrepreneur who has founded, grown, and exited multiple companies across a wide range of sectors. Between 1983 and 1995 he played a defining role in the emergence of what is today known as fintech, launching early pioneers such as Utvecklings AB Servisen (now part of Fidelity IS), Servisen Optimating AB, and QT Optec AG. These ventures introduced new concepts within automation, research, and algorithmic trading, helping lay the foundations for modern electronic financial markets.

From 1995 to 2002, Peter applied his entrepreneurial mindset to the music industry, supporting its transition into the digital era. Between 2003 and 2015 his focus returned to fintech, where he supported SMEs and a small-cap stock exchange in developing corporate finance and financial infrastructure.

Taken together, these experiences shaped Peter into a seasoned venture builder with deep insight into both technology and business evolution. Katalysen was born out of this accumulated expertise and reflects his ambition to continue creating meaningful value for partners through active, hands-on venture development.

Tobias is a venture partner with a decade of experience working at the intersection of startups, finance, and cross-border strategy. His journey began with an early attempt at mobile e-commerce in high school, a failed experiment that sparked a curiosity for how ideas scale across cultures and how technology spreads globally.

Since 2019, Tobias has contributed to Katalysen’s evolution into an active, collaborative investment firm. As Venture Partner – and previously as COO – he has worked across the full portfolio of 24+ companies, supported new deal origination, led strategic and operational initiatives, and helped execute the company’s IPO on Spotlight Stock Market.
