Sebastian Frisk

Sebastian Frisk is COO of the Scaleup Europe Fund where he leads the platform behind the Fund's mission to back Europe's next generation of technology scaleups. He is responsible for strategy execution, operations, governance, and fundraising, working closely with the investment team and the Fund's investors to build the operating foundation the strategy runs on. Based in Stockholm, Sebastian works across the European technology ecosystem, focused on closing the continent's late-stage funding gap in deeptech and frontier technologies so that companies built in Europe can scale from Europe. His mandate reflects EQT's long-term commitment to backing globally competitive technology champions. Sebastian joined EQT in 2021 and previously served as Chief of Staff of The EQT Council, working with senior leadership on firm-wide strategy and cross-platform execution, and before that as a Managing Director in Business Development focused on corporate strategy and strategic M&A. Before joining EQT, Sebastian spent close to 15 years in investment banking, most recently at Jefferies, with deep experience across capital markets and complex transactions. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Economics from the University of Nottingham.
