Valedo Partners is a growth-oriented private equity firm investing in small and mid-size companies primarily in Sweden and the rest of the Nordic region. The firm focuses on businesses with distinct growth and development potential, aiming to actively support management teams in driving long-term value creation initiatives and strengthening market positions. Value creation is not only built on sales and earnings growth but also on investments in product development and a focus on customer and employee satisfaction. Valedo's investment strategy centers on companies with clear and significant growth ambitions, where an investment can enhance opportunities for development through acquisitions, geographic expansion, and the launch of new products and services. The firm targets medium-sized businesses in Sweden and the rest of the Nordic region with revenues between SEK 100 million and SEK 500 million, established and profitable with strong market positions within their respective niches. Valedo's investments are based on multi-year development plans to develop, secure, and strengthen the company's strategic position through growth. The firm's philosophy is rooted in the Latin words 'valesco' and 'credo,' meaning to grow and strengthen, and to believe in and support, respectively. These principles illustrate Valedo's commitment to long-term value creation, engagement, development, and continuous improvement, openness and transparency, as well as ethics and morality.

The firm has raised multiple funds, including Valedo II (established in 2011), Valedo III (established in 2016), and Valedo IV (established in 2022), all based in Stockholm, Sweden. Valedo has extensive experience in driving development and growth strategies and actively supports the companies it invests in through a network of individuals with broad operational experience from various industry and service segments.
