Swedish VC Course Corrected has closed its second fund €80m, slightly short of its €90m target.
In an interview with Impact Loop, partner Christine Ahlstrand talks about which companies they are looking for and why the fund took so long to close.
"The hardest part is the waiting answers. It's easier when you get a yes or no, because then you know which direction to go," she says.

Stockholm-based Course Corrected has raised €80m for its second fund, slightly below its target of 1 billion SEK (around €90m).
"It was been a loosely set goal, in the sense that it would have been very fun to reach one billion Swedish kronor," partner Christine Ahlstrand tells Impact Loop over the phone when asked why the firm closed short of its initial target. "But we are very happy with what we have achieved, both in relation to the size of the first fund and to the market and this climate."
