Fifty-Six Capital is the London investment arm of a Swedish industrial family. We invest the family's own capital in early-stage technology companies, and we bring eighty years of making and shipping things to the founders we back.

Where we come from

Our family opened its first works in Gnosjö, Sweden, and still machines metal there. Its lift businesses design, build and install home and platform lifts around the world. Running factories, supply chains and a distribution network is what we know.

Our investments

We have backed Suiteki, Dolfin and CanXchange.

Our interest is in businesses that make an industry more efficient, more durable or more transparent.
