PÄAB’s beginnings
“ One day about ten years ago at Tranan restaurant, Anders and I formed PÄAB at the initiative of Öjvind, after discussing the fact that startup companies often do not get the kick-start they need in terms of capital and knowledge.
After a few faltering steps in the legal jungle, we got underway and managed to engage six other people with capital and knowledge who also dared to join PÄAB at the end of 2007.
We made our first investment in January 2008 in Imint, a company we believed in blindly, that we followed and then supported through a few years of near-death experiences until its listing on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in December 2015. ”
