US investor Peter Thiel – co-founder of PayPal and major Facebook backer – is among those supporting a Swiss family office’s partnership to build a public listings platform, with a focus on Sweden.

, a Swiss single-family office led by Robin Lauber (interviewed by WealthBriefing last December), yesterday unveiled a partnership with Christian Angermayer’s . The partnership will build a platform for tech-enabled public market listings, anchored in Sweden. The initiative is backed by Apeiron’s European private equity and venture capital arm, and Elevat3 Capital, in which Thiel’s Founders Fund and Thiel Capital are strategic partners and anchor investors in Fund ONE.

“Together, we are committing capital, energy and attention to re-establish Europe as a natural home for ambitious, capital-efficient companies to go public, Lauber said. “The platform we are building today will help serve tomorrow’s listings across fintech, crypto, digital infrastructure and more.”

The partnership concentrates on building a pipeline of initial public offerings across sectors including financial services, real estate, digital assets, blockchain, and next-generation consumer and healthcare platforms. The partnership prefers to use the Nasdaq Stockholm marketplace.

Infinitas has already confirmed that three portfolio companies – Kanaan Sellers Group, Storypod and HausVorteil – will come to market, with primary listings on Nasdaq Stockholm and, in the case of HausVorteil, a primary listing on Börse München with a secondary listing in Stockholm.

Apeiron Investment Group is known for backing firms across biotech, fintech, digital assets and deep tech (the latter term referring to innovations rooted in substantial scientific research or advanced engineering). The firm has teams in New York, London, Berlin, Abu Dhabi and Malta. It primarily invests in the US, according to the firm's website.

“Sweden has quietly become the most vibrant retail-led capital market in Europe,” Angermayer said. “The country’s combination of political vision, structural incentives, and investor culture is something Germany and others should study closely.”

“From tax-efficient ISK accounts to high pension participation in equities, it is no accident that Sweden is now a leader in IPOs. We are here not just to list three companies, but to build a platform that reflects how and where Europe should be taking its innovation public,” he continued.

In September 2024, this news service reported Infinitas' launch of Opportuna, an investment entity that has rolled out a strategy concentrating on direct “venture secondaries” and “late-stage primaries.”
