Team Spintop

We are a team of experienced investment professionals running the the day-to-day management of Spintop.

We are supported by a group of trusted Senior Advisors and a Network of Entrepreneurs and Executives from the Technology Industry. This gives Spintop access to invaluable knowledge, experiences and contact networks.

Our track record

Together, we have over 40 years experience in starting, managing and investing in tech companies in the Nordics, UK, Germany, continental Europe, Japan and the U S. With Spintop, we have invested in 35 (June 2021) early stage technology companies and engineered a number of trades sale exits to technology sector leaders like Bentley Systems, Cisco, Synopsys and Zynga. In our pre-Spintop lives as entrepreneurs and investors we have also made successful exits to Apple, Google, IAC Group and Nokia/Microsoft.

Our experience

Spintop team members have enjoyed successful senior management careers, making significant impact in the international technology sector as founders, CEOs, strategic and financial advisors and board members. Throughout our professional lives we have worked across the world. This international perspective together with our technology sector background, has resulted in a strong tech industry contact network that is a great support to the companies we invest in.
