PVW Capital AB — Industrial investment & holding company · Founded 2021

From zero to eight companies.
In under five years.

PVW Capital AB started in 2021 with no companies, no revenue and no profit. Today it is an active owner in eight companies across the energy-transition chain — businesses at the front of their segments, growing fast while already profitable as they invest in future growth. The hard build years are behind us. The foundations are in place, and the journey towards a stock-market listing within three years has only just begun.

How

Active, long-term ownership. Patrick Wallén chairs or sits on the board of the operating companies.

Reach

30,000+ monthly visitors across the group's three web channels (company-reported).

Why energy, why now

The largest capital shift of the decade is in energy.

Electrification, AI data centres and the need for storage are pushing electricity demand up faster than grids can keep pace. The money follows: the world now invests about twice as much in clean energy as in fossil fuels. PVW owns companies in nearly every link — storage, distribution, installation, safety, sales and financing.

USD 3.3 trillion

Global energy investment in 2025 — about USD 2.2 trillion of it into grids, storage, renewables and other clean energy.

Towards a listing within three years

Three scenarios for the group.

Conservative

SEK 100m

PVW-attributable value

Slower delivery, lower multiples and a down round in early-stage positions. Shows the asset base the listing would rest on even in a cold market.

Continuing as before

SEK 155m

PVW-attributable value

The companies keep running on their current operating plans at today's market multiples — the pace the group has delivered since 2021.

Targets delivered

SEK 243m

PVW-attributable value

Every company and key person delivers on documented targets, as they have a track record of doing: Wattly Fund I, VoltGuard's SEK 100m 2027 target, Kapitalanalyser's expansion and the signed options exercised.

PVW analytical scenarios using the same per-company low/base/high values and ownership as the valuation section. Not forecasts or guarantees, and not a listing valuation; a listing depends on market conditions and board decisions.

Portfolio asymmetry

What happens if several of these companies win?

Growth portfolios do not return evenly. A small number of winners typically contributes most of the value. PVW does not need every company to succeed — it needs one or two to become exceptional while the rest hold value.

  1. 8 companies
  2. 7 core holdings
  3. Several ordinary winners
  4. 1–2 exceptional winners
  5. Disproportionate NAV contribution

Historical growth fades to normal levels; Fund I closes and options are exercised.

  4. 24–30 months

    Listing readiness

  5. 30–36 months

    Target: listing

    Ambition to list PVW Capital AB, subject to market conditions and board decision.

Tax-efficient compounding

Every krona keeps working.

Under Swedish rules for business-related shares, a holding company like PVW Capital AB pays no tax on capital gains or dividends from unlisted holdings. Value created in the companies can therefore compound inside the group and be reinvested without tax between each step — a structural advantage over owning the same companies directly.

0%

Capital gains tax for PVW Capital AB when it sells business-related shares (näringsbetingade andelar) in unlisted companies.

0%

Tax on dividends PVW Capital AB receives from those holdings. Profits can be reinvested in full.

100%

Of an exit can be redeployed into the next option, company or asset — no tax leakage between steps.

Applies at company level (Income Tax Act ch. 24–25 a). Individual shareholders are taxed under their own rules when they sell or receive dividends from PVW Capital AB shares; for unlisted shares this is normally 25% on gains. Not tax advice — consult your own adviser.

02The PVW thesis

Why we own, how we value, and where we are going.

Why PVW exists

The investment company is the result of entrepreneurship — not a substitute for it.

PVW was not created by starting with a fund and searching for companies. The portfolio emerged from building companies, investing alongside exceptional founders and taking long-term ownership positions.

Investment philosophy

Five principles. Nothing else.

01

Own

We invest through ownership.

02

Build

We work closely with founders and management teams.

03

Compound

We focus on long-term value creation.

04

Concentrate

We invest in subsidiaries and associated companies where conviction and opportunity overlap.

05

Participate

We stay close to every company through a board seat — or, where we hold no seat, a very close working relationship with the board through an advisory role.

Forecast

One year, three, five, ten.

This is the plan PVW is executing against, with the numbers attached. The forecast starts from today's NAV and assumes no leverage at holding level and reinvestment of realised proceeds. Forecasts are not guarantees.

Year 1
2026 – 2027

Close the circle. Tighten the platform.

The first year is not about new logos. It is about completing the partner round, consolidating ownership and putting proper reporting around a portfolio that until now has been run founder-to-founder.

  • 01Partner capital admitted at the fixed entry valuation
  • 02Formalised valuation model and quarterly shareholder reporting
  • 03Selective top-ups in Wattly, EnergyNet and Energy Group
€14.6m – €18.6m
Forecast NAV

Forecast NAV, including the new capital raised in the round.

Year 3
2028 – 2029

The energy positions start to carry the group.

By year three the thesis should be visible in the numbers rather than in the narrative: energy projects in operation, the advisory and technology businesses producing recurring profit, at least one holding re-rated by an external transaction — and PVW Capital AB ready for a stock-market listing, the stated ambition and objective within three years.

  • 01Ownership increased in one or two core holdings
  • 02First external valuation event in the energy portfolio
  • 03Cash flow from the profitable operating companies
  • 04Stock-market listing (IPO) of PVW Capital AB — the ambition and objective within three years
€21.3m – €32.8m
Forecast NAV

Forecast NAV at roughly 15–25% annual compounding.

Year 5
2030 – 2031

From owner to platform.

Five years in, PVW should look less like a founder's holding company and more like a listed industrial investment and holding company: several holdings at scale, a track record partners can underwrite, and the optionality to realise one position without disturbing the rest.

  • 01One partial or full realisation, proceeds recycled into the portfolio
  • 02A second partner round only if it improves the platform
  • 03Early-stage positions either scaled up or written down honestly
€33.7m – €57.6m
Forecast NAV

Forecast NAV; the energy holdings are the main driver.

Year 10
2035 – 2036

Compounding, uninterrupted.

The ten-year ambition is simple and deliberately unglamorous: own a handful of excellent private companies for long enough that time, not leverage, does most of the work — as a listed industrial investment and holding company with a long-term shareholder base.

  • 01Permanent ownership in the companies that earned their place
  • 02Structural liquidity options for partners, without forced exits
  • 03Active company building as the primary craft of the company
€79.7m – €151m
Forecast NAV

Forecast NAV at sustained mid-to-high teens compounding.

Assumptions: the starting point is today's NAV of €13.7m, no leverage at holding level, no new capital beyond the partner round described above, and reinvestment of realised proceeds. A weaker outcome — delayed energy projects, a financing round at a lower valuation, or a write-down in the early-stage positions — would place NAV below these ranges. Nothing here is a guarantee of return or liquidity. Swedish operating company amounts are converted from SEK at a fixed reference rate of EUR/SEK 11.29. Fund references, international financing references and case studies are shown in original currency where relevant. Conversions are shown for reference only.

08Governance

Clear rules, long horizons.

Founder-led governance

The founder leads the platform and holds a board seat — Chairman or Board Member — in every portfolio company, or, where no seat is held, a very close working relationship with the board through an advisory role.

Long-term shareholder base

A small circle of partners aligned on horizon rather than exit timing.

Defined ownership strategy

Capital is invested in subsidiaries and associated companies within a stated ownership strategy, with flexibility for highly relevant opportunities.

Reserved matters

Defined decisions require qualified shareholder approval.

Transfer restrictions & pre-emption

Share transfers are restricted and existing shareholders hold pre-emption rights.

Share structure & voting rights

Decided and fixed: A shares (founder / PVW) carry 10 votes per share, B shares (new shareholders) carry 1 vote per share. Economic rights are identical per share — every partner owns the same krona of net asset value.

Liquidity & holding horizon

Three liquidity routes: a secondary sale to an approved buyer, a sale to a founder-nominated buyer, or the 36-month put option against the founder under a separate agreement (50% or 100% of original B-shares at 160% of subscription price, conditional on the founder's ability to pay and the collateral agreement). Outside these routes the investment should be regarded as illiquid.

Verified valuation process

Valuations are not guesswork. They are prepared with external subject-matter experts, built on recognised valuation methods, including comparable company analysis, transaction references, DCF where relevant, latest financing rounds and management-verified operating data, and cross-checked against the most recent share purchases and the assessments of company management.

Board of Directors

Institutional Board & Continuity

To ensure long-term stability and eliminate key-person dependency, PVW Capital is governed by an active Board of Directors. The board is led by Patrick Wallén as Chairman, alongside carefully selected external directors with significant track records and industry expertise. To ensure absolute alignment with shareholders, external directors are compensated exclusively through equity participation, not cash. Their only incentive is the long-term growth of the ecosystem and the underlying portfolio companies. The formal composition of the external board seats is currently being finalized with tier-1 candidates from the founder's network.

09Risk

What can go wrong.

Private ownership carries real risk. These are the principal ones, stated plainly.

01Concentrated private portfolio
02Illiquidity
03Valuation uncertainty
04Execution and timing risk
05Financing and dilution risk
06Key-person dependency — mitigated by the ongoing appointment of an active, equity-incentivised Board of Directors with significant industry expertise.
07Founder credit / collateral risk
08Legal, tax and regulatory risk
09Company-specific risk
10No guaranteed return
10Questions & answers

Everything a partner asks, answered here.

The key questions are answered openly. Final legal documents always prevail. If a question is not answered below, ask Patrick directly.

01

What does PVW Capital do?

PVW Capital AB is an industrial investment and holding company. The company conducts long-term ownership, investments and active capital allocation with the objective of building a diversified portfolio of companies, financial assets and real assets — acting as a long-term owner and shareholder, without a predetermined term or any obligation to repay invested capital on demand. The ambition and objective is a stock-market listing (IPO) of PVW Capital AB within three years. We are now broadening the shareholder base with carefully selected partners who can contribute strategic value and networks.

02

What exactly am I buying?

You subscribe for B-shares in PVW Capital AB, the active ownership platform that holds the portfolio. You become a shareholder in the whole portfolio and in the platform that keeps building it.

03

What is the entry valuation?

SEK 154m pre-money, equivalent to €13.75 million at the fixed rate of SEK 11.2/EUR. The valuation is anchored in PVW's ownership-adjusted reference value of approximately SEK 154m.

04

How is my ownership calculated?

Your capital divided by SEK 154m plus your capital. The full €4.0m round (SEK 44.8m) equals 22.54%.

05

Is there a minimum investment?

No formal minimum. Admission is by invitation only, subject to board approval, legal documentation and cap table discipline. If you would like to take part, come back with the amount you want to invest and it is applied at exactly the same fixed entry valuation as every other partner. Partners are admitted by invitation only and the register is kept deliberately small.

06

What voting rights do the shares carry?

Decided and fixed: A shares (founder / PVW) carry 10 votes per share and B shares (new shareholders) carry 1 vote per share. Economic rights per share are identical, so your capital buys the same net asset value as anyone else's.

07

What happens to my money?

New capital goes first into exercising PVW's verified and/or founder-confirmed ownership opportunities in Wattly, Energy Group and EnergyNet, subject to final legal documentation where applicable — a total exercise cost of SEK 34.5m (€3.08m at the round rate of 11.2); SEK 10.3m of the full SEK 44.8m round remains after the exercises. PVW Capital AB charges shareholders no management fee or performance fee. Normal market-based salaries, consulting fees or operating-company compensation may exist within portfolio companies and will be disclosed where material.

08

Is PVW Capital a regulated or licensed business?

PVW Capital AB is intended to operate as a long-term industrial investment and holding company that invests from its own balance sheet and is an active, long-term owner in its underlying companies. It does not manage capital on behalf of others, has no predetermined term and no obligation to repay capital on demand; new shareholders own shares in the company itself. On that basis the company does not consider itself a licensable business. This assessment is to be confirmed by legal counsel before the round opens.

09

Does PVW charge shareholders any fees?

No. PVW Capital AB charges shareholders no management fee or performance fee. Normal market-based salaries, consulting fees or operating-company compensation may exist within portfolio companies and will be disclosed where material. The founder owns the majority of the company. The founder’s primary economic incentive is aligned with shareholders — long-term value creation in the shares.

10

How do I get my money out?

Liquidity is provided through a secondary sale, a nominated buyer, or the contractual 36-month put option against the founder (160% of the subscription price).

11

Is the put option a guarantee?

No. It is a contractual right against the founder under a separate agreement. The economic protection depends on the founder's ability to pay, the realisable value of the collateral and the enforceability of the agreements.

12

What happens if PVW's value falls?

Then the value of the shares may fall, and the value of the collateral may be affected. The put option does not reduce all risks and does not eliminate the risk of capital loss.

13

What reporting do I get?

Quarterly shareholder reporting with updated NAV per company, method, assumptions, confidence level and valuation date — plus direct access to the founder.

14

How are the valuations set — and who checked them?

Operating companies on multiples, comparables and DCF. Early-stage positions on the latest external financing. The work is done with external subject-matter experts using recognised valuation methods, including comparable company analysis, transaction references, DCF where relevant, latest financing rounds and management-verified operating data, then verified against company management's own assessments and the most recent share purchases in each company. Every figure carries its method, date and confidence level. Nothing here is a guess — but the figures are not audited.

15

What control does the founder keep?

Patrick Wallén leads use of capital and holds a board seat, or a very close advisory relationship with the board, in every portfolio company. Defined reserved matters still require qualified shareholder approval.

16

What is the realistic downside?

Delayed energy projects, a financing round at a lower valuation or a write-down of the early-stage positions would take NAV below the conservative case. Private holdings are illiquid and a total loss of capital is possible.

17

How do I proceed?

One conversation with Patrick, then the subscription documents and the shareholders' agreement. Signing to registered shares typically takes a couple of weeks.

A note from Patrick

I did not set out to build an investment company. I set out to build companies, work with exceptional people and own businesses I believed in.

Over time, that created a portfolio. Positions were taken because I knew the people, understood the problem and wanted to be part of solving it — not because a mandate required deployment.

PVW is the natural next step: one energy group, active in the whole chain of the transition, on its way to the stock market — together with shareholders who share our values and want to help build it.
