Vilhelm Nygren
"I am driven by meeting entrepreneurs who want to make our world better – whether through technology, business models or societal impact."
Areas of focus
I have a particular focus on DeepTech and companies driving sustainable development in the marine sector and circular economy.
What I look for when investing
Team, product, market – in that order. The most important is a strong team, global protection position and a business model with long-term profitability.
Previous experience
I have experience from management consulting, finance, branding and the fishing industry – including roles at Forefront Consulting, Red Bull and the Second Swedish National Pension Fund (AP2).
Board assignments and education
Degree in Industrial Engineering and Management from Chalmers University of Technology, with complementary training from Styrelseakademien, Pareto Mini-MBA and Six Sigma Black Belt.
Specific projects and investments
Some of my favourite investments so far are Amferia, EmbeDL and Nordic Seafarm – companies that combine technology, impact and strong growth potential.
