  Partners

Tetrad invests in and partners with high-growth companies.


An integral part of investing in such situations is to bring to bear the firm's engaged involvement, multi-disciplinary expertise and global relationships to help these companies scale up and cross the chasm from being project-based / product-focused early-stage enterprises to successful companies positioned for long term success.


As part of this endeavour Tetrad has formed strategic relationships with some of the leading early-stage investment firms in Europe and the US.


One of these firms is Katalysen Ventures AB - based in Stockholm, Sweden. Katalysen shares a similar philosophy to Tetrad in terms of developing long term value-added partnerships with its investors and portfolio companies.
