The answer is: Cloud Capital!

Founded in 2017 by Johan Crona, who previously led early-stage SaaS-investments at Almi Invest, Cloud Capital is on a mission to partner with strong entrepreneurs that are seeking a stable and knowledgeable co-shareholder to be an active partner during upcoming growth phase. It is a private investment company with a totally flexible mandate to engage in SaaS-companies depending on what's the best in each situation.

In this fireside chat we discuss:

⭐️ What's the state of SaaS industry in the Nordics / Sweden?

⭐️ What are common challenges involved in scaling a SaaS startup?

⭐️ How should SaaS founders approach funding and startup valuation, especially with long-term in mind?

⭐️ Why did Johan start Cloud Capital - what's the mission, what gap it filles in the market?

⭐️ What type of startups Cloud Capital works with (stage, team, geography)?

⭐️ Why is it important to retain control of business as a startup?

⭐️ Why is hyper-growth not the only focus for Cloud Capital?

⭐️ What were the key learning points from Breakit Saas Summit 2022?
