Warsaw, Poland , 30 Oct 2025

Carlson Investments SE (CISE) is rewriting the rules of venture capital. Where access to innovation was once reserved for institutions and ultra-wealthy insiders, CISE makes investing in tomorrow’s breakthroughs as simple  - and as liquid - as buying a stock.

Established in 2003 and listed on multiple European stock exchanges, CISE operates at the intersection of regulated finance and venture capital. The company is committed to providing investors with access to high-potential technological and medical innovations.

Reflecting on the decision to list Carlson Investments SE publicly, CEO Artur P. Jedrzejewski explains:

Taking Carlson Investments SE public was a strategic choice. We wanted to create transparency, credibility, and long-term trust with investors. Being listed allows us to provide liquidity, build visibility across European capital markets, and demonstrate that venture capital can operate with the same governance standards as public companies. It also gives our portfolio companies access to the credibility of a listed partner and a broader pool of investors.

Why It Matters Now

With artificial intelligence transforming industries, healthtech driving advances in quality of life, and Central and Eastern Europe establishing itself as a growing center for innovation, the demand for accessible venture capital investment has never been greater.

Coneventional venture capital remains restricted by structural barriers such as long holding periods, high entry thresholds, and limited transparency. Carlson Investments SE removes these barriers by providing:

• No minimum investment size

• No lock-up periods

• High liquidity

For the first time, individual investors can back startups that are solving global challenges, while retaining the flexibility and transparency of a publicly listed stock.

Highlighting the advantages of Carlson’s strategy, CEO Jedrzejewski shares,

Traditional venture capital often relies on closed funds with limited lifecycles and opaque structures. Carlson has reimagined this. As a listed platform, we combine the flexibility of venture investing with the accountability of the public market. We focus on building long-term value through equity participation, structured instruments such as warrants, and innovative capital market tools that create alignment between investors, founders, and shareholders. This approach allows us to adapt quickly, scale globally, and share value creation more openly than the traditional model.

A Record of Growth and Vision

With a portfolio of more than 40 high-potential companies across fintech, medtech, and deep technology, Carlson Investments SE has built a diversified foundation for the future.

• Open-ended model – supporting long-term value creation without premature exits.

• 169.35% CAGR – €100,000 invested in 2020 would today be worth over €725,000.

• Global footprint – listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE: CAI) and Frankfurt (FRA: 2HB), with subsidiaries regulated by Poland’s KNF and Germany’s BaFin.

Portfolio Highlights: Turning Vision into Impact

Carlson’s portfolio companies show how innovation becomes impact:

• Nutrix AG (HealthTech) – preparing the launch of cortiSense, a non-invasive cortisol monitoring device and CES Innovation Award 2025 winner. Designed to support preventive healthcare and chronic disease management.

• Debster.ai (LegalTech/AI) – winner of the Polish Intelligent Development Award 2025, its AI-powered automation is transforming receivables management, giving banks and insurers real-time transparency and efficiency.

• Paymiq Financial Group (FinTech) – currently raising capital at a USD 25 million valuation, Paymiq is developing next-generation payment infrastructure, including a Virtual IBAN system, regulated stablecoin platform, and Banking-as-a-Service solutions.

Shaping the Future of Venture Capital

By connecting investors with breakthrough technologies, Carlson Investments SE is creating measurable financial value while redefining venture capital as a more open, inclusive, and globally relevant asset class.

On the future of Carlson and venture capital, Jedrzejewski states,

Our vision is to make Carlson Investments SE a leading European listed venture capital platform—bridging the gap between private innovation and public capital markets. We want to democratize access to venture opportunities, enable investors of all sizes to participate in growth stories, and bring transparency to a sector that has historically been exclusive. Looking ahead, I believe venture capital will increasingly merge with public markets, supported by tokenization, new financing models, and greater global connectivity. Carlson intends to be at the forefront of this transformation.
