Why Longrun?
The world needs an unprecedented technological transformation to outpace climate change, which will disrupt most industries. More capital is needed for innovative and breakthrough technologies in early stages to help accelerate and scale up the business.
We are industry agnostics and we invest in solutions where our capital and expertise can make a big positive impact on the climate. We have an evergreen structure with flexible exit horizons, to be able to support the best founders to make a lasting impact in the world – we plan to be involved for the long run. Our ownership stakes are typically 10-30%.
Investment Philosophy
Longrun’s investment philosophy is to invest in companies with a positive climate impact and superior financial returns, and we believe these go hand in hand.
In addition to climate impact, we look for founders who share our values about diversity. Diverse companies with inclusive cultures perform better, and diversity is best implemented from start.
History
Longrun was founded in 2021, with the mission to have a positive impact on the climate. The operations started already in 2018, when the co-founder Johan Frenckner began investing in early-stage companies with focus on digitalization.
These investments are included in Longrun’s Digitalization portfolio, which was closed for new investments in 2021.
