Graviton (venture capital firm)

Graviton is a Swedish investment company. It began in 1999 when Johan Lundquist and two partners launched its first fund, a venture capital fund called Alpha One.

Today the firm invests mainly in listed companies that generate positive cash flow and hold a clear competitive advantage. It started out concentrated on technology, IT and the internet, and has since widened into other sectors.
