Investors
Scandiown is raising a pre seed round to take SweChat to public launch.
The round
Scandiown AB is raising a pre seed round for 12 to 18 months of runway. The company is founder led and has been self funded to a working product on iOS and macOS with real test users. The round is open to Swedish and Nordic investors who understand sovereignty, security and the public sector. The product is live for testers today at swechat.se.
What the money does
- Move BankID from the test environment to production, with the agreements that requires.
- Finish Android so the public beta covers the three platforms Swedish users actually hold.
- Run a validation programme: 20 to 30 business interviews, 5 to 10 public sector conversations, a consumer survey, and a beta with 100 to 200 real users.
- First paid pilots with businesses and a dedicated instance for one public sector customer.
Why now
BankID verification inside a messenger is a structural advantage that the global apps cannot copy. The demand side is visible every week in Swedish news about fraud and about data stored abroad. The window to establish a Swedish answer is open now.
