Tequity AB

Tequity AB is a private technology investment firm dedicated to propelling technology companies to the next level of growth. The firm specializes in equity investments in selected technology companies, combining an active role in company development with traditional investment management. Tequity focuses on creating a strategic, long-term portfolio of investments in both listed and non-listed companies that have strong management and boards in place. The firm is particularly interested in sectors such as connectivity and energy efficiency.

Tequity's investment strategy involves selective investments in well-managed companies with proven business models and clear ambitions for international growth. Typically, these companies have revenues exceeding €3 million and have demonstrated success in initial export markets. The firm seeks to be an active partner in various scenarios, including the next stage of international growth, public listing preparations, and private equity investments in technology companies. In these roles, Tequity may serve as a strategy advisor, independent external board member, or co-investor in leveraged buyouts.

Founded in 2004, Tequity has a history of active involvement in the development of its portfolio companies. Notably, in 2015, Tequity and JCE Group acquired Cybercom Group, a leading Swedish IT company. By 2018, Cybercom reported organic growth of 15%, with revenues reaching 1.68 billion SEK and operating profit improving to 162 million SEK. This success led to Formica Capital becoming the majority owner, while Tequity and JCE Group remained as long-term active owners with 41% and 6% of the shares, respectively. This example underscores Tequity's commitment to fostering growth and value creation in its investments.

Tequity's approach is characterized by a combination of entrepreneurial experience in international growth and a long-term ownership interest in selected technology companies. The firm's focus on sectors like connectivity and energy efficiency reflects its strategic vision to invest in areas with significant growth potential and societal impact. Through its active involvement and strategic guidance, Tequity aims to build a portfolio of long-term investments that contribute to the advancement of technology companies in Sweden and beyond.
