Frequently asked questions
How does Venture Securities source deal flow?
Given the firm's deliberately low public profile and Lidingö location, sourcing is almost certainly relationship-driven — relying on personal networks, angel syndicates, and referrals rather than inbound pitches or advisor-led auctions. The absence of a public team page or marketing presence reinforces this pattern.
Is Venture Securities a venture capital firm or a private equity firm?
The firm self-identifies as a private equity manager but its stated early-stage strategy aligns with venture capital. In Sweden, the regulatory and tax distinction between PE and VC is less sharp than in the US, and smaller firms frequently use 'private equity' as their legal designation regardless of stage focus.
