Fredrik Limsäter, CEO and founder at ftrack mentioned that ‘Since 2014, we have seen strong growth in customer acquisition with thousands of users in over 60 countries and plan to accelerate this further with the investment from Alfvén & Didrikson. We’re excited that they will have an active role in the company, tapping into their expertise in high-growth tech companies and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with.’
Stockholm-based investment firm Alfvén & Didrikson and ftrack shares common future goals. So, it was better to synergies together and grow mutually.
