Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Nineyards Equity?
Stefan Nordahl, the firm's Founder and CEO, leads the investment decisions. The firm's website lists him as the sole named professional, indicating a concentrated decision-making structure typical of a founder-led growth-equity firm.
At what stage does Nineyards Equity invest, and what is its typical check size?
Nineyards Equity invests from Series A and beyond, writing initial checks between EUR 2 million and EUR 15 million. The firm targets companies with over EUR 5 million in revenue or annual recurring revenue that are already growing at well over 100% per year.
Does Nineyards Equity invest globally or focus on a specific region?
The firm invests exclusively in Europe, with a focus on the Nordic region. Its disclosed portfolio companies, including Instabox, Einride, and Voi Technology, are all European-headquartered businesses.
What is Nineyards Equity's approach to ESG?
Nineyards applies a mandatory ESG screen, requiring that all portfolio companies demonstrate a net positive impact on environmental, social, and governance factors. The firm states this dual mandate — combining impact with returns — is a core part of its investment process and thesis.
Which companies has Nineyards Equity publicly invested in?
The firm's website discloses portfolio positions in Instabox (last-mile delivery, invested 2020), Einride (electric and autonomous transport, invested 2021), Voi Technology (micromobility, invested 2021), Hedvig (insurance), Ark Kapital (B2B lending), and Chainlink (blockchain oracle network), along with an unnamed professional hair-coloring company and subscription-management platform.
Is Nineyards Equity a single-family office or a traditional venture capital firm?
Nineyards Equity is structured as an asset manager and private equity firm rather than a family office. The firm operates as an independent growth-equity investor raising external capital, though it does not publicly disclose its limited partners or fund structures.
How does Nineyards Equity source its deals?
The firm does not disclose a formal sourcing model, but its thesis-driven and surgical approach — described as investing only when it can identify specific areas to add strategic value — implies a reliance on direct relationships and proactive thematic mapping rather than broad inbound origination.
