About The Fund

Rite Ventures is an investment firm with a focus on information technology (IT), e-commerce, and retail sectors. Established in 2007 and based in Stockholm, Sweden, they specialize in early-stage investments, guiding companies during a critical period of growth as they transition towards midmarket. Rite Ventures primarily targets entities operating in the realms of IT services, Software as a Service (SaaS), and e-commerce in Sweden and Finland. They act as an active investor, deploying a well-proven value creation process with a consistent sector focus that enables them to be catalysts for portfolio companies, aiding in the development of their full potential. The firm champions e-commerce centered retail, collaborating with retailers with strong customer propositions and those that leverage technology and data to improve their offerings and efficiency. Their involvement ranges across marketplaces, re-sellers of third-party products, and vertically integrated brand owners. In the software and IT infrastructure sector, Rite Ventures possesses extensive experience, making investments in areas such as payment infrastructure, hosting, telecom, internet-connected hardware, and cloud applications covering a wide spectrum from financial services to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. They also put a stake in strong consumer digital brands that have a unique digital identity, encompassing purely digital to omnichannel companies with a sizable, passionate customer base. Rite Ventures invests its own funds which grant them independence from external stakeholders, and thus the ability to be stable and reliable partners. They pride themselves on their hands-on and in-depth operational, market, and strategic expertise, and prefer to act as minority owners to incentivize partners to continue building successful enterprises. They avoid media engagements, quick flips, extensive financial engineering, and turnarounds, preferring sustainable business processes that include sound ethical standards for long-term healthy value creation.
