blq was founded in 2019 on one belief: value is created inside a company, not from a board seat.
We take majority positions in profitable niche companies whose potential is held back by their current ownership, and build them with our own hands into category leaders.
Our partners have run, scaled and exited companies themselves, and have worked together for more than a decade.
Kamjar is the founder of blq invest. As a serial entrepreneur Kamjar knows what it is like to walk in a founder’s shoes. Kamjar holds a master of law from Uppsala University. He is enthusiastic about his two kids, padel and falafel (startups from Skåne are always interesting).
Originally from Gothenburg, Erik worked with Serendipity’s M&A team prior to joining blq Invest. He holds a MsC in Industrial Management and Engineering from KTH, Stockholm. Outside of work, Erik spends his spare time playing tennis, skiing and travelling (ideally combining the last two options).
As a Company Builder, Mazdak has a passion and experience from multiple start-ups. Before joining blq, he was the CEO of an international legal tech SaaS company. When he’s not supporting our portfolio companies, he supports his favorite football team in the Swedish league, which according to him, is the best league in the world.
