# Backstage Invest Overview

 Backstage Invest is the investment arm of a Swedish Single Family Office, focusing on direct investments in entrepreneurial scale-up companies based in Sweden, with a broader Nordic mandate. The firm is managed by self-made entrepreneurs investing their own capital, a practice the family has engaged in since the 1980s. Backstage Invest offers more than just funding; portfolio companies benefit from their experience and network in areas such as business development, strategy, financing, marketing, and international expansion. The firm believes in the power of technology, invests selectively, and avoids highly capital-intensive sectors. They prefer to back proven entrepreneurs with solid track records and typically do not invest at the early stage, requiring real evidence of traction and growing revenues.
