Stockholm has become fertile soil for producing unicorns and the Nordics is a region thriving with startup activity. The region is renowned for innovation, creativity and user-centricity.


Picus Capital, headquartered in Munich is an early-stage technology investment firm with a long-term investment philosophy. Founded in 2015, the firm empowers entrepreneurs and innovators to


build internationally successful companies and challenge the status quo. Now, the company has taken to the Nordics, opening a new office in Stockholm and appointing Cristina Koehn, former


VP operations at Kry, a Swedish unicorn success story, as Partner and Head of Nordics


Cristina has a wealth of expertise and experience in the entrepreneurial world and is taking this to the Nordics with her new role to manage Picus’ new operations from Stockholm. We had the


chance to catch up with her and hear her insights into how and why the tech scene is so promising in the Nordics, the secrets to success, and the importance of bringing more diversity into


investments and tech spaces.


What motivated me to join Picus is our approach to work side-by-side with founders as an entrepreneurial sparring partner. I want to get to know aspiring founders in the early days of their


founding process and support them on their journey of building category-defining international market leaders.
