This group includes Jonas Nordlander & Filip Engelbert (founders of Avito), Verdane Capital and the Lundin Family to name a few. The goal is to expand our business on a global scale, by continuing to acquire more sites.

  • Career support: If it is the right fit for you and for us, we would love to keep you on a permanent basis after your internship. If you would rather do something else, we will help you find your next adventure whatever that is

  • Best workplace in the world!: You’ll be hard pressed to find a nicer, more fun group of colleagues - whether they are two legged or four-legged furry friends. You’ll be working out of our new office in Tegnergatan 1, in the heart of Stockholm
