Background

Andreas Gindin is a Swedish internet entrepreneur, operator and angel investor based in the Greater Stockholm area. He holds a BA in Psychology from Lund University and began his career in management and business-development roles at American Express and IHM Business School before moving into founding and running companies. He served as CEO of Internetgirot Skandinavien and has been associated with a string of Swedish ventures over the years, including Internetgirot.se, Bengtsson & Gindin, AWCO and Andersen & Björnskov.

He is best known as a founder and long-standing board member of Besedo, a provider of Trust & Safety and content-moderation services to online marketplaces worldwide. Founded in 2002, Besedo specializes in combating fraud and scams on marketplaces by analyzing patterns and trends, and today operates internationally with offices across Sweden, Malta, Colombia, Malaysia and Romania (his @besedo.com contact and the Malta phone number reflect that footprint). Within Besedo he has been reported in CEO, CFO and board-member capacities.

Alongside Besedo, Gindin holds and has held several board and chairman positions in Swedish companies. He is Chairman of the Board of Bredbandsgruppen (SFT Bredbandsgruppen AB), a board member of HRM Affärsutveckling AB, and previously served as Chairman of the Board of Smartify. His professional history also connects him to companies such as Fixarpartner, It-Hantverkarna (part of Dustin), Saleskick and Trust Combinator AB — the last of which appears to function as an investment/holding vehicle. His decades of hands-on operating experience in Swedish internet businesses inform his profile as an angel investor.

Investment Thesis & Focus

*Note: Gindin has not published a formal, quoted investment thesis; the points above are inferred from his documented operating focus and investor classification rather than a stated manifesto.*

  • Invests as an angel / individual investor, typically at seed and early stages — the profile classification most consistently attached to him across investor databases.
  • Draws on deep domain experience in online marketplaces, Trust & Safety, fraud prevention and internet/SaaS services — the areas where he has operated and can add hands-on value.
  • Backs Nordic (largely Swedish/Stockholm) founders, consistent with his network and board activity in the region.
  • Adds value beyond capital through operating and board expertise (CEO/CFO/chairman roles), suggesting he favors companies where his marketplace and trust-and-safety background is relevant.

Notable Investments

  • Besedo — Founder / board member of the Trust & Safety and content-moderation company (founded 2002; ~500 employees across five countries).
  • Bredbandsgruppen (SFT Bredbandsgruppen AB) — Chairman of the Board.
  • Smartify — former Chairman of the Board.
  • HRM Affärsutveckling AB — current board member.
  • Trust Combinator AB — associated entity, likely used as an angel/holding vehicle.
  • Earlier ventures he founded or ran: Internetgirot / Internetgirot Skandinavien, Bengtsson & Gindin, AWCO, Andersen & Björnskov.
