The Sweden ecosystem, as we see it
Sweden has the densest software scale-up ecosystem in the Nordics. Capital availability at the seed and Series A stages is strong; the gap appears at the scaling phase, where founders need capacity more than they need additional capital alone.
Where Sweden sits in our coverage
Sweden is a tier-one market for TGC. Coverage spans Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Uppsala.

Frequently asked questions
- Does TGC Capital Partners work with scale-ups in Sweden?
- Yes. TGC works directly with scale-up founders in Sweden. We bring the 6X Factors into the company as one programme: sales and marketing capacity, engineering capacity from our global teams, governance and back office, and leaders from Gateway Group on the board. We invest in the programme we deliver, together with your lead investor.
- How does TGC invest in Sweden companies?
- We invest in the programme we deliver, together with your lead investor, at an agreed valuation, routinely up to 30% of the optimised funding need over the 18-month plan. The plan is recast month by month in the workshop, with the programme inside it. We invest as a minority partner without control.
- Does TGC have a local presence in Sweden?
- Sweden is covered by TGC partners with direct operating experience in the local ecosystem. Gateway Group has offices in 15 countries across Europe, North America, Africa and India, and our global teams work with founders in each market.
- How is TGC different from a VC or PE fund in Sweden?
- TGC Capital is not a VC, a PE fund or a venture studio. We do not only provide capital, and we do not create companies. We work with existing founders and put our teams inside their company, under one agreement, and we invest only when execution leverage is clear. Read more on the /focus and /platform pages.
- Which sectors does TGC focus on in Sweden?
- Software and SaaS, vertical software products and tech-enabled services. We do not invest in hardware, deep tech or capital-intensive sectors outside software.
