Monterro is a leading B2B software investor in the Nordics, recognized for its strong operational approach and consistent track record of returns. The firm is deeply embedded in the Nordic ecosystem, with a team comprised largely of former software operators who bring hands-on expertise to scaling companies. Monterro combines capital with operational support, networking, and long-term vision, aiming to help local software companies grow into international market leaders.
Monterro exclusively targets B2B software companies, with a focus on Nordic-founded businesses looking to expand globally.
Beyond capital, Monterro provides operational expertise, in-house AI support, and access to its Scandinavian Software Park in Vietnam, where 150+ developers work with portfolio companies to boost efficiency and product development.
In October 2025, Monterro launched two new funds, M5 and G2, totaling €1.725 billion.
These funds more than doubled the firm’s assets under management to €3.1 billion, marking Monterro’s most ambitious raise to date.
The funds were oversubscribed, closing in less than four months, with strong participation from both existing and new LPs across Europe, APAC, the US, and South America. Monterro itself contributed over 10% of the capital, and around 50 entrepreneurs and executives from its portfolio also invested.
Leadership
The funds are overseen by Monterro’s experienced leadership team, including Lars Sveder (Co-founder & Chief Investment Officer) and Gustav Lagercrantz (CEO), who emphasize Monterro’s role as hands-on operational investors. The team has expanded with 16 new hires and the opening of a new Helsinki office to reinforce regional coverage.
Investment Strategy
Monterro follows a buy-and-build strategy in the B2B software sector, combining organic growth with strategic acquisitions.
The firm leverages its operational team, AI specialists, and community of portfolio leaders to drive growth and innovation.
With the new funds, Monterro aims to back additional Nordic software companies, support expansion through M&A, and help founders scale into international markets.
