Rigorous, not ruthless

Unlike many venture capitalists and private equity firms, family is at our core. While we value discipline and returns, we are focused on family and people. We have high standards but understand that life happens and we are empathetic to our operators and developers when extenuating circumstances arise. At Scandia, you are not viewed as a spreadsheet or set of financials — you are an extended member of our family. As with any family member, we hold our partners accountable through a lens of understanding and mutual respect.

We take the unconventional approach of being unapologetically partner-centered. We are fiercely passionate about working together with our partners to build great companies by adding value through our investments, positive reinforcement, and our decades of successfully scaling businesses and growing profits. We have the unique advantage of being accomplished business operators with a keen understanding of the obstacles you will face as your company scales. We have been where you are and can bring a level of expertise that enables you to overcome your challenges in order to build a lasting and successful business.
