The investment company Lane Capital is facing a more aggressive acquisition phase in connection with the reverse acquisition of Netjobs Group and today's listing on Spotlight Stock Market.The listing means, among other things, that the company gains access to its own shares as consideration and to a structure that enables more parallel acquisition processes.- Our core idea is to build scale over time, which implies a relatively aggressive but disciplined acquisition agenda. At the same time, every investment should be grounded in our background as entrepreneurs, says Lane Capital's CEO Joacim Nord to Finwire.- We prioritize companies with established products, real customers and clear demand. The ambition is to build substance step by step, rather than drive volume for its own sake.Netjobs has a history as a listed company on First North, where the last trading day was December 3. The company has since divested its previous operations and is now used as a listing platform for Lane Capital.This week, Netjobs completed the reverse acquisition of Lane Capital. At the same time, an extraordinary general meeting elected a new board, which in turn appointed Lane Capital's CEO Joacim Nord as the new CEO of Netjobs. The company is in the process of changing its name to Lane Capital.Lane Capital was formed in early 2025 through a merger of the portfolios within Iron Branch Invest and ANTCO Investment Group. ANTCO had previously conducted investment activities since 2016 and managed a portfolio originally built within Aggregate Media. Through the merger, Lane Capital was established with a broad portfolio from the outset.The company focuses on early and growing companies with a clear technology connection and today has around 20 holdings across several segments, including Packbud, Suntrade Group, Näktergal, Vorto Gaming and Trion HealthTech. What the investments have in common is that they have established businesses, real customers and clear demand, rather than being in long research and development phases.The pipeline is described as active, with several parallel dialogues in different phases. According to Lane Capital, many of the cases are less about changing the business model and more about issues related to ownership structure, capitalization or strategic direction.At the same time, the company deprioritizes companies that mainly build their value on long research and development phases.- As entrepreneurs at heart, we are driven by products, customers and functioning businesses. That is where we believe the most sustainable value creation takes place, says Joacim Nord.In terms of capital allocation, the company sees both increased holdings in existing portfolio companies and new investments as necessary parts of its development.- In many cases, we see good risk-adjusted potential in deepening our ownership in companies we already know well. At the same time, new investments are necessary to reach the scale and breadth required for the next phase of the company’s development.Joacim Nord has previously told Dagens Tillväxt that the listing means the company’s own shares can be used as consideration in acquisitions. When it comes to financing growth, the company sees new share issues as a natural tool.- At the same time, we are disciplined and focus on issues that clearly strengthen the company’s long-term value creation and room for maneuver.Lane Capital assesses that several of the current holdings are ready for value uplift through relatively limited structural measures. The role vis-à-vis the portfolio companies is mainly strategic, focusing on ownership matters, direction and priorities rather than operational management. In the longer term, the company also sees opportunities for divestments.- Our ambition is for Lane Capital to develop into an active transaction partner for funds, private equity firms and other owners, for example in the rotation of holdings out of funds or in more complex ownership structures. To get there requires both scale and trust.On a three- to five-year horizon, the goal is to build a larger and more focused investment company with a strong balance sheet and a clear role in structural transactions. Spotlight is seen as an important platform in the long-term growth ambition, both for Lane Capital and for future portfolio companies.So far today, Netjobs’ share has traded as high as 1.60 kronor and as low as 0.70 kronor. This can be compared with the last paid price of 86 öre on December 3 before the delisting from First North.Footnote: The reverse acquisition has also resulted in a significantly changed ownership structure in Netjobs. After the transaction, Iron Branch Invest controls just under 49 percent of the capital and just over 84 percent of the votes, while BuddyPro Group owns about 34 percent of the capital. The two owners were not part of the ownership structure before the transaction.
