Fintech Investment Committee

Lena Apler

About me

Lena founded Collector Bank in 1999 and built it into a Nasdaq-listed niche bank that sustained over 30% annual revenue growth for more than a decade, which is an achievement that speaks for itself.

‍

She was named DI Digital's Female Founder of the Year in 2017 and is one of Sweden's most prolific fintech angel investors, with a portfolio spanning more than 15 companies across lending, payments and financial infrastructure.

‍

Few people in Sweden have as much practical experience building a financial institution from scratch, and that perspective is exactly what she brings to the Fintech Investment Committee.
