About

Leksell Social Ventures is a Nordic impact investment company dedicated to identifying and scaling innovations that deliver real, measurable outcomes in society. Leveraging our deep experience and extensive network across the life science and public sectors, we partner early with exceptional researchers, founders, and practitioners who share a scientific and data-driven approach to both life science and social change.

Our collaborative, partner-driven model allows us to support transformative ideas—whether novel therapeutics or breakthrough social welfare solutions—through every stage of development, from concept to large-scale implementation.

Acting as a catalyst, we provide not just capital but strategic guidance, helping to scale true innovation to the people and communities who need it most.

Leksell Social Ventures was founded by the Leksell family, drawing on a legacy of entrepreneurship and impact. Inspired by the family’s journey of founding and building Elekta—where innovation made precision radiation therapy accessible worldwide—we know that meaningful change takes both vision and investment. At Leksell Social Ventures our mission is to combine entrepreneurial drive with strategic capital to create lasting social impact.

“I’ve spent my professional life building businesses and have seen how new ideas can lift both individuals and society to new levels. I often say that society is greater than the state. By that, I mean that the private, academic, non-profit and public sectors must work together if we are to effectively tackle today’s social challenges. That is the mission of Leksell Social Ventures: to drive innovation and collaboration across sectors for a better society.”
