We've been active for 20 years and so far we've invested in over 600 companies during the years, mainly within ICT and Life Sciences, but we also invest in other industries.

During the lifetime of an investment, sums of up to 1 MEUR can be ventured. We always syndicate with one or several venture capital firms or angel investors, from Sweden or otherwise.

Corite has built a product called aFlow, a digital coach and sparring partner providing daily, automatic, structured, and tailored support to record labels, music agents, and independent artists. Based on answers to questions posed by an AI assistant, customized services (‘sessions’) are compiled for this specific artist, such as a tailored brand profile, creation of content piles, ready-made press releases for song releases, a Spotify biography, customized TikTok and marketing posts to share, and much more. The more the tool is used and the more the AI learns about the artist, the more tailored the services become.
