Together, they have acquired an ownership stake of just under 13%.

The investment will be used to accelerate the development of Grasp’s AI platform and continue its global expansion. Grasp uses proprietary, in-house built, generative AI and language models to streamline complex and time-consuming tasks currently performed by investment bankers and management consultants. Globally, US$1.4 trillion is spent on these services, and the industry is expected to undergo significant change in the coming years as AI becomes capable of performing much of the work.

Grasp launched its AI assistant as a SaaS solution in December 2023 and has since seen a strong inflow of customers. Their technology is currently used by 25 companies in 15 countries across the world, including in the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Sweden.

Richard Karlsson, CEO of Grasp, comments: “We are pleased to welcome Yanno Capital and Philian Invest to Grasp. Since we launched our AI platform in December, we have grown incredibly fast and have reached an ARR of over 3 million SEK. We are now ready to take the company into the next phase of expansion. Anna and Nicklas have experiences in scaling tech companies within the financial sector that are unmatched by many in the world, and we see them as the perfect partner on our journey.”

Anna Storåkers, founder of Yanno Capital, comments: “We are happy to collaborate with Grasp and support the company in its expansion. Their product valuably solves problems for a clear customer group on a global market. We are convinced that a clear focus is the key to building successful and competitive AI companies, and this is something that the team at Grasp has.”
