Among the 10 most recent post-IPO equity rounds shown for Sweden, Embracer Group’s $1.0B (2022-06-08) dwarfs every other disclosed amount, with the next-largest being Catena’s $230M (2022-03-28) and Storytel’s $164M (2021-09-07). The list also forms a mid-2022 cluster: 6 of the 10 rounds fall between 2022-03-09 and 2022-10-05, and 4 of those 6 occur from 2022-06-08 to 2022-10-05 (Embracer, Cantargia, LipUm, Scandinavian Biogas Fuels International, and Copperstone Resources AB). Sector concentration is clear as well: Biotechnology appears 2 times (LipUm, 2022-09-22, $4M; Cantargia, 2022-06-21, $25M) but no single sector reaches 3+ entries. The most recent round date in the table is 2022-10-20 (Copperstone Resources AB at $21M), while the smallest disclosed amount is ChemoTech at $100K on 2022-03-09.

Frequently asked
Which post-IPO equity round is largest in this Sweden snapshot, and how far ahead is it of the rest?
Embracer Group’s $1.0B round (2022-06-08) is a clear outlier: the next-largest disclosed amounts are Catena at $230M (2022-03-28) and Storytel at $164M (2021-09-07), with all remaining disclosed rounds below those levels.
Do the most recent rounds cluster in a specific time window rather than being evenly spread?
Yes. Six of the 10 rounds occur between 2022-03-09 (ChemoTech) and 2022-10-05 (Scandinavian Biogas Fuels International). Within that, four rounds land between 2022-06-08 (Embracer) and 2022-10-05 (Scandinavian Biogas Fuels International): Embracer ($1.0B), Cantargia ($25M), LipUm ($4M), and Copperstone Resources AB ($21M).
Are any cities or metros repeated enough to suggest a geographic concentration in this list?
Stockholm appears more than once: Scandinavian Biogas Fuels International is listed in Stockholm (2022-10-05, $30M), and Neonode is listed in Stockholm (2021-10-21, $14M). The remaining entries are spread across other cities including Lund (Cantargia, ChemoTech) and multiple non-Stockholm locations.
Is there a sector mix pattern, and does any sector dominate with 3+ entries?
No sector reaches 3+ entries in the 10-row view. Biotechnology occurs twice (LipUm at $4M on 2022-09-22; Cantargia at $25M on 2022-06-21), while Consumer Electronics also occurs twice (Embracer at $1.0B on 2022-06-08; Neonode at $14M on 2021-10-21).
Are there low-end outliers that would materially affect an analysis of typical deal size?
ChemoTech at $100K (2022-03-09) is the smallest disclosed round and is an extreme low outlier relative to the rest, which range up to $1.0B for Embracer. The next-lowest disclosed amount is LipUm’s $4M (2022-09-22), still far above ChemoTech.
