“Enabling The Future of Global Trade Through Digitization”

The Growth Portfolio💙

Maersk Growth started investing in the spring 2018 and now almost two years down the road, we are the proud investors in many verticals and niches that enable the future of global trade.

• Firstly, we have invested in the Digitalization of Freight Forward (FreightHub with Ferry Heilemann and co-founders), Inland Road Freight (Technology Leader Loadsmart with Ricardo Salgado and co-founders) and end-to-end Food Logistics (Fliit with Flavio Alario and team).
• We are also backers of e-commerce Return Logistics providers (ZigZag with Al Gerrie and co-founders) and many interesting companies in the Food Space (such as Ripe.io and Spoiler Alert).
• Furthermore, we have invested in Supply Chain Visibility companies that will allow brands with some of the insights they are looking for within their supply chain (Onomondo and Wiliot).
• Lastly, we build a Commodity Trading company (Frey) and invested in a Trade Finance company (Modifi) that supports the growth of SMBs around the world.

How COVID-10 Impacts Growth😷

The current COVID-19 crisis has shown that companies that have digitized their supply chain are standing strong. Most of our portfolio companies experience revenue growth in these weeks and have a lot of inbound interest either from companies that want to learn about what they do which then leads to extended business relationships.

COVID-19 emphasizes the need for investing in supply chain, Logtech, Industry 4.0 etc. and we are up for backing even more founders. We are going through a time of change and the world will look very different on the other side.

We already see the signs of the change and we are ready to back more founders that have novel and exciting business ideas in stages from Seed to Series-B

Like many others, we have moved to our home offices but are still fully operating at our maximum capacity to support you and your business. Catch us at dealflow@maersk.com and we will guide you professionally and with respect for the future of your business.
