Press release from Companies
Published: 2025-02-27 09:13:48
Katalysen regrets to inform about the bankruptcy declaration of Swiperoom AB, a company within its investment portfolio. The estimated market value and book value of Katalysen's holding in Swiperoom AB were both cautiously set at 0 SEK in Katalysen’s 2024 Q4 report. As such, this event does not directly impact the estimated value of Katalysen’s portfolio.
Swiperoom AB had been leveraging big data and under-utilized property photography to empower the real estate sector. Despite strong user reception, the company faced persistent challenges in monetizing its platform, having experimented with multiple B2C and B2B models before ultimately reaching this decision.
Peter Almberg, CEO at Katalysen, commented: "It is always unfortunate when ideas don’t take off, despite the best efforts of dedicated founders. The team behind Swiperoom explored every avenue, from business model experimentation to strategic partnerships and potential mergers. At some point, it becomes more rational to invest time and resources into new ideas. We extend our appreciation to the team for their hard work and wish them success in their future ventures."
