”This is a giant step for CAKE, hooking up with leaders in their trade, and aside from the capital injection nursing our way forward sharing in-depth competence and experience. The ability to accelerate is timely, just having launched the street certified Kalk& model for North America and Europe, as well as launching the next model Ösa, a more commuter oriented vessel, during fall,” says Stefan Ytterborn, Founder & CEO of CAKE.

“It is inevitable that there will be a major paradigm shift in transportation. The electrification of vehicles is a big part of this and we see consumer adoption accelerating rapidly. The combination of award-winning Scandinavian design, product innovation and a stellar entrepreneur makes CAKE a great addition to Creandum funds’ portfolio of mobility companies such as Voi, Bolt, Ree and Distribusion. We are excited to support their mission to speed up the journey towards a zero emission society, something everyone at Creandum is very passionate about,” says Staffan Helgesson, General Partner at Creandum Advisor.
