Partners in your journey.
In Sweden, fika is an essential cultural activity that involves sharing a cup of coffee with friends. It’s a moment to take a break - an informal way to get acquainted, without pressure. It’s what we love to do most with entrepreneurs.
We believe that as investors, you have to earn the right to be a thought partner to founders, but you can provide tactical value from day one. We do this by focusing tirelessly on high-impact areas that deliver meaningful outcomes — business development, recruiting, and capital strategy.
The Fika team is made up of former operators, investors, and entrepreneurs who have founded, scaled, and exited companies themselves. This lived operational experience means we understand the journey firsthand, the highs and lows, and can provide extremely tangible, high-touch support across a wide array to the founders we back.
Values designed to withstand the test of time
We maintain a disciplined investment approach but our values and tireless commitment to the founders we back is what makes us stand out from the crowd.
Fika serves as a natural extension of our portfolio companies' management teams. We work side-by-side — not across the table from — founders on every aspect of building an enduring business and provide 24/7 support in tangible ways that get a lot of lip service from today’s VC firms but are rarely the reality.
Our dedication to this philosophy creates a consistent experience for our founders and also enables each portfolio company to reap the benefits of the entire Fika team's network, experience, and engagement.
We’re well-rounded, committed, and with complementary skills to help grow your business.
Our team works “founder hours” and meets you where you are. We do things like set up Slack channels with our investments so founders can work with us on their schedule and in their preferred way. We don’t shy away from hard conversations, but we do them with respect, thoughtfulness, and awareness that we are partners in your business, not the other way around.
