Portrait of Karl Skarman

About me

Karl Skarman

I'm Karl Skarman and I founded Tallskogen to gather the investments I make in companies I believe in, primarily within tech, e-commerce, digital business models and sustainable growth.

By day I'm co-founder and CMO at Montrose, a digital investment platform within DNB Carnegie built for active investors who want better tools, data and customer experience. I bring long experience as CMO and CDO from Montrose, Avanza and IVC Evidensia, working with digitalisation, growth, customer journeys and brand.

Through Tallskogen I invest my own capital in entrepreneurs and companies where I understand the customer value, the product and the path to scalable growth. I like companies with strong culture, clear customer focus, high digital maturity and business models that can scale without losing quality.

My background is a combination of operational building, investing and board work. I've helped build companies, driven growth, developed digital products and worked closely with founders at different stages. That's why I try to be a long-term, practical owner: not just capital, but experience, network and a sounding board when needed.

I live in Nacka with my wife and our three children. When I invest, I look for the same things I try to build with: strong teams, good values, real customer value and a culture where people want to win together.
