Three operators who built inside logistics before backing it.
Former VP Engineering at a Series C freight-tech company in Gothenburg (acquired 2019). Before that, 7 years building logistics optimization systems at a Nordic 3PL. Founded Kvistlund in 2020 with the thesis that AI would restructure European supply chains from the software layer.
We invest earliest when the founder can draw the system diagram from memory.
Spent 9 years in supply chain operations — first at a Scandinavian FMCG group managing distribution across 14 markets, then as COO of a Series B warehouse automation startup in Stockholm. Joined Kvistlund in 2021 to lead deal sourcing and portfolio GTM support.
If you've never managed a warehouse at 2am during a system failure, you don't know what resilience looks like.
ML engineer by training — 4 years building demand forecasting models at a Nordic grocery retailer, then 2 years at a Berlin-based logistics AI startup. Joined Kvistlund in 2023. Leads technical diligence and post-investment architecture advisory.
The difference between a demo and a product is a data pipeline that runs at 3am.
Kvistlund is a three-person partnership and we intend to stay small. We don't hire on a regular cadence. But we are interested in conversations with operators — people who have worked inside freight, warehousing, or supply chain software — who are thinking about a transition into early-stage investing or want to work closely with portfolio companies on technical or commercial challenges.
