Wellstreet celebrates 10 years of backing Nordic founders

Stockholm, 6 February 2026: Ten years ago, Mikael Wintzell and Sïmon Saneback founded Wellstreet with a clear investment conviction and founders at the centre. Today, we mark a decade of building alongside some of the most determined entrepreneurs in the Nordic tech ecosystem.

Since 2016, Wellstreet has invested in over 40 companies across B2B tech, fintech, and consumer technology, through multiple market cycles, through the highs of 2021 and the corrections that followed, and through the current wave of AI-driven excitement. What has stayed consistent throughout is the approach: stay disciplined, focus on unit economics and profitability, and back founders building companies that can last beyond any single cycle.

The past decade includes companies that have gone on to list on Nasdaq, be backed by Founders Fund, and scale to global customers. But the real story is the founders themselves, the ones making hard decisions every day, with incomplete information, carrying responsibility for their teams, their customers, and the companies they are building.

As we mark ten years, we want to thank every founder who has trusted us as a partner, every LP who has supported our funds, and every team member, past and present, who has shown up and done the work, often in ways that go unseen.

The first ten years have been built on persistence. Here is to the next ten!
