Treyd

[edit]

Treyd is a Swedish fintech company that provides inventory financing and trade credit solutions to small and medium-sized product businesses. The company operates in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.

History

[edit]

Treyd was founded in 2019 by Peter Beckman and Sameh El-Ansary, who met through the Antler incubator in Stockholm, Sweden. The founders observed that many entrepreneurs faced a common challenge: limited working capital tied up in inventory. This insight led to the creation of Treyd, which offers financing solutions that allow product-based businesses to purchase inventory without requiring upfront payment. Its services are primarily used by companies in ecommerce, retail, wholesale, and consumer goods. Since its inception, Treyd has expanded its operations across the Nordics, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.[1]

The company offers two core financing products: inventory financing (also referred to as payables financing), which allows clients to defer payments for inventory purchases, and invoice financing (receivables financing), which provides early payments on outstanding customer invoices.[2]

Funding

[edit]

Treyd has raised approximately €28 million in venture capital from investors including Nineyards Equity, Zenith VC, Antler, J12 Ventures, and angel backers.[1]

In May 2025, the company announced an additional €5 million in funding from existing investors, bringing total financing to €28 million.[3]

Leadership

[edit]

Co-founders Peter Beckman and Sameh El-Ansary remain active as CEO and CTO. In 2025, Treyd appointed Knut Frängsmyr, former Deputy CEO of Klarna, as Chairman of the Board.[3] He succeeded Stefan Nordahl, who remains on the board and is a lead investor via Nineyards Equity.

Operations

[edit]

As of mid‑2025, Treyd has supported over 1,000 product brands and financed more than €360 million in inventory and invoices. The company has approximately 50 employees and operates across multiple European markets, including a 2023 launch in Ireland.[4]

Media coverage

[edit]

Treyd has been covered by European fintech and startup media such as *Sifted*, [*Tech.eu*](http://tech.eu/), *ArcticStartup*, and *The Irish Times*, which described its expansion into Ireland as a key step in growing its inventory financing and trade finance services.[5][4]
