Stadsholmen Equity.
Stadsholmen Equity is an independent, partner-owned broker-dealer and advisor specializing in private capital markets, with a focus on secondaries in high-quality, unlisted technology companies. We leverage an extensive network of local and international investors, and our team brings diverse expertise spanning equity capital markets, secondaries dealing, and non-public investments.
Our name originates from Stockholm’s most central island, Stadsholmen—a hub of innovation and entrepreneurship for centuries. From iron trading to deep tech, the creativity springing from this islet knows no borders.
PRIMARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS
Private Placements
Access to equity financing is crucial for start-ups and scale-ups to grow, and raising capital is often a pivotal milestone in a company’s journey. The process can be complex, requiring strategic planning, careful execution, and attention to detail.
Stadsholmen Equity supports unlisted technology companies in securing equity capital to fuel growth or bridge short-term financing needs. Our private placement clients are typically early-stage businesses with strong growth potential, visionary leadership, and proven business models. Many are navigating the gap between late seed funding and Series A, while others, after bootstrapping, are now ready to diversify their cap table and attract external investment. Some are progressing toward a liquidity event—an IPO being one possible outcome—while others are better suited for a rights issue.
As a fundraising partner, Stadsholmen Equity serves as the key intermediary between issuers and venture capital. Backed by an experienced advisory board with deep expertise across various sectors, we identify, evaluate, and help finance high-potential ventures while delivering competitive returns to our investors.
SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS
Secondaries Dealing
Stadsholmen Equity assists potential investors and current shareholders in unlisted equities by making a market in secondaries, providing liquidity in an otherwise illiquid asset class. Beyond our extensive network, we maintain active relationships with major Nordic brokerage firms, significantly enhancing our placement capabilities.
A typical client might be an early seed or angel investor looking to partially or fully exit their initial investment, a stakeholder who has recently exercised stock options, or an investor seeking to increase their holding in an early-stage growth company without waiting for the next financing round.
RESEARCH & INVESTOR RELATIONS
Corporate Insight
Many shareholders in unlisted companies face frustration due to limited transparency and communication from the businesses they’ve invested in—they lack crucial insight.
Our 'Corporate Insight' offering bridges this gap, combining equity research with investor relations services. This includes commissioned equity research, corporate communication (IR), and corporate access initiatives such as non-deal roadshows and thematic seminars, tailored for current and potential investors in unlisted companies.
Career
While we are not actively hiring, we are always interested in agile minds and raw talent with experience in equity capital markets (ECM), corporate finance, equity brokerage, or related fields. If this sounds like you, send your CV to contact@stadsholmenequity.se, and we will reach out when the right opportunity arises.
