Our portfolio

Since 2016, SEB Venture Capital supports FinTech startups with capital, competence and clients, building on 160 years of banking experience.

We are curious about meeting founders with bright ideas and novel technologies, looking for companies ranging from technologies like AI, machine learning and automation to novel business models like peer-to-peer lending and neobanking. We invest broadly – the investments can be both of purely exploratory and financial character as well in companies already having a clear strategic fit with SEB.
