Maersk Growth

Shereen Zarkani serves as Managing Partner and leads the investment team. Decisions are made through an internal investment committee that aligns with A.P. Moller-Maersk's broader technology and decarbonization strategy (per the firm's official communications).

Through Maersk's global port-terminal network, 100,000-customer base, and fleet operations, the group identifies startups solving real supply-chain friction. Founders often approach Maersk Growth specifically for the commercial pilot opportunity inside the parent's logistics infrastructure.

It operates as a corporate venture capital unit funded from A.P. Moller-Maersk's balance sheet, not a family office. It has no external LPs and can hold equity indefinitely, but its primary mandate is strategic alignment with the parent's core business rather than purely maximizing financial return.

The group invests almost exclusively in direct equity positions, from seed through growth stage. There is no public record of Maersk Growth committing as a limited partner to third-party venture funds.

Checks range from seed-stage rounds under $2 million up to Series B and later-stage follow-ons above $20 million. The group aims to stay with companies as they scale inside Maersk's operational footprint.

The group focuses narrowly on digitization and decarbonization of logistics and supply chains. It does not invest in consumer internet, biotech, or financial services outside trade finance and cargo insurance contexts.

Investment capital comes from A.P. Moller-Maersk's operating balance sheet, built on the founding family's 1904 shipping enterprise that remains one of the world's largest container logistics companies by revenue and fleet size.
