What Pamir Partners does

Pamir Partners (Pamir AB) is an independent Swedish investment company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Stockholm at Rådmansgatan 24. The firm acquires and develops profitable Nordic B2B SaaS companies through long-term committed ownership rather than short-term financial engineering, explicitly positioning itself as a partner for founders considering succession, partial exit, international expansion, or capital infusion. Pamir sources deals through direct professional outreach and referral networks within the Nordic software ecosystem and operates with a lean 5-person leadership team (CEO Magnus Berglind, CIO Rikard Brattberger, COO Christian Ljunge, CFO Nicholas Macneil, CTO Simon Tovatt), supporting portfolio companies with expertise, operational resources, and capital while preserving each company's independent brand and management.

The portfolio comprises ten distinct software businesses across diverse verticals: DSS (Scandinavian EdTech for schools), Antirio (procurement and purchasing systems for public and private sectors), Allevi (cloud-based care sector planning and monitoring, acquired 2016), CtrlPrint (financial reporting and electronic statements SaaS, acquired 2017), 2c8 (business process modeling tool with 1,200 customers in 30 countries, majority stake acquired 2020), PC Schematic (Danish CAD software for electrical installations, acquired April 2023), Royal Streaming (commercial music streaming for retail and hospitality, acquired June 2023), Pureservice (Oslo-based service desk solution), ImBox (Gothenburg-based customer communication platform with AI chatbots), and Kundo (AI-first service experience platform). Portfolio outcomes include Antirio's +500% revenue growth, DSS's 4x scaling, Allevi's 3x growth, and CtrlPrint's +300% growth since Pamir's investment.

The business model is private-equity-style holdco economics: acquire full or majority stakes in profitable, recurring-revenue software firms and grow them organically and through add-on M&A. At the parent level there is no disclosed fund structure, no institutional capital backing, and no public revenue figures, with monetization occurring through portfolio appreciation and eventual realizations rather than subscription pricing. Strategic tempo has been active, with two acquisitions in 2023 and ongoing tuck-in M&A inside portfolio companies such as Allevi (Carefox, Journal Digital, Råbe & Kobberstad) and DSS.
