We are proud that our vision of ensuring security and regulatory compliance without compromising developer experience resonates with both customers across Europe and investors. Finally, we can announce the closing of another round of funding where Elastisys raises a 30 million SEK investment to further drive our rapid expansion.
The investment was led by Spintop Ventures and joined by Fort Knox, complemented by the company’s previous investors, including Northern Light Capital and Partnerinvest Norr. Spintop Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm investing in innovative Nordic software-based technology companies. Fort Knox is a family office with a strong focus on driving expansion in the northern part of Sweden.
“Elastisys has built a platform-as-a-service business originating from a research background and an expert consultancy. Spintop firmly believes data security and privacy are important not only to regulated industries, all digital services will need to carefully consider how to preserve the trust of their customers. We are pleased to support Elastisys to accelerate the deployment of truly safe and secure digital infrastructure in the EU”, says Finn Persson, Partner at Spintop Ventures.
Markus Olsson, CEO of Fort Knox, adds: “We are very impressed with how Elastisys has progressed over the past years in terms of demonstrating a strong organic growth of its professional- and managed services. With the core focus of Fort Knox being to help accelerate growth and entrepreneurship in the northern part of Sweden through our investments, we are particularly happy that the founders put great pride in keeping the headquarters in Umeå, as this contributes to the region being able to attract and maintain talented people. We look forward to contributing to the exciting journey ahead.“
The constantly growing team will now be able to grow even faster thanks to the funding.
