Who we are
Azimi Invest AB is a fully owner-operated investment company based in Stockholm, Sweden. Founded in 2014 by Parham Azimi, a two-time bootstrapped founder, we deploy our own capital in a concentrated portfolio. Our long-term horizon and active ownership allow us to make fewer bets with deeper conviction, focusing on opportunities where our operating experience can move the needle.
We serve principled founders who value clarity, craft and a steady hand. We also partner with like-minded co-investors who appreciate patient compounding over hype and noise. Everything we do is grounded in calm confidence and simple, first-order logic.
Strategy
Our approach
We invest both privately and publicly, but our model is always the same: concentrated capital, clear theses and targeted support. We step in only where it matters and stay out when it does not. Discipline and transparency drive every decision.

Owner-operator model
We invest our own money and are hands-on when it creates clear value, and long-term owners when it does not.
-
Focused partnership
8-10 core private positions with time, attention and operating support in strategy, product-market fit, go-to-market and governance.

Disciplined compounding
Clear risk controls, defined concentration limits and ongoing NAV/KPI tracking to protect capital and enable patience.
