Fieldspring
Fieldspring AB operates from Stockholm as a Swedish investment company chaired by Staffan Persson, who simultaneously runs Swedia Capital. The firm's legal structure and limited public disclosures suggest it functions as the primary investment vehicle for Persson and a tight circle of business partners including Johan Thorell and Inga Christina Tillman. Founding partner Anders Lindqvist served through 2017. The firm deploys capital across two distinct tracks. On the venture side, it targets early-stage startups, though no named portfolio companies are a matter of public record. On the real estate side, Fieldspring has held positions in Corem Property Group's commercial portfolio and Oscar Properties' residential developments in Stockholm (per public record). The connection to Johan Thorell, a major real estate investor, anchors the property strategy. Co-investments are frequently routed through Swedia Capital AB, Persson's other investment firm, creating an internal syndication structure that pools founder capital. Fieldspring's network extends into Swedish professional circles. Inga Christina Tillman, who serves as a director of Fieldspring while leading the Stockholm-based communications firm Hunter, holds a director role at Ypo Guld Service AB — a corporate entity tied to the Young Presidents' Organization. This affiliation connects Fieldspring to YPO's global peer network of chief executives, a channel that can surface proprietary deal opportunities. Persson also maintains Staffan Perssons Stiftelse, a philanthropic foundation. Fieldspring's architecture as a capital vehicle paired with a founder's own investment firm — Swedia Capital — is its structural signature. Rather than raising external funds, it appears to invest balance-sheet capital from a concentrated ownership group, co-investing in real assets and early-stage companies without the quarterly pacing pressure of institutional limited partners.

Frequently asked questions
Who controls investment decisions at Fieldspring?
Staffan Persson exercises control as founder and chairman. He simultaneously runs Swedia Capital AB, which co-invests alongside Fieldspring, indicating a consolidated decision-making structure rather than a compartmentalized investment committee model. Director Inga Christina Tillman and board member Johan Thorell also hold governance roles.
How is Fieldspring related to Swedia Capital?
Both entities are owned and directed by Staffan Persson. Swedia Capital AB functions as a parallel investment vehicle that frequently co-invests with Fieldspring, effectively creating an internal capital syndication structure. The dual-entity setup may serve tax, liability, or regulatory separation purposes, though the specific rationale has not been publicly detailed.
Does Fieldspring invest in funds or only directly?
Fieldspring's known activity is direct — early-stage startup equity and real estate holdings. No commitments to third-party funds have been disclosed. The co-investment relationship with Swedia Capital suggests a preference for direct balance-sheet deployment rather than fund-of-funds allocations.
What real estate assets has Fieldspring held?
Fieldspring has held positions in Corem Property Group's commercial real estate portfolio in Sweden and Oscar Properties' residential developments in Stockholm. Board member Johan Thorell is himself a major real estate investor, indicating deep sector specialization within the firm's network.
Does Fieldspring operate as a family office?
Fieldspring is legally structured as an investment company (AB), not a registered family office. However, its tight ownership group — Staffan Persson, Johan Thorell, and Inga Christina Tillman — paired with a philanthropic foundation, mirrors the operational profile of a single-family office deploying founder capital across venture and real assets.
