Peter Gonczi

Peter Gönczi (born 1975) is the Chief Executive Officer and a board member of Spotlight Group AB, a Stockholm-based capital-markets group whose mission is to "simplify growth for companies." He holds a Bachelor's degree in Business and Economics (business administration) and has more than 25 years of experience in marketplaces for growth companies and in corporate capital raising. He began his career at NGM (Nordic Growth Market) from 2000 to 2006, working in market surveillance and operations and rising to head of information monitoring and market surveillance.

In 2006 Gönczi joined Spotlight Stock Market (then known as AktieTorget) as Deputy CEO, and in 2011 he was promoted to CEO of the marketplace. When the broader Spotlight Group was formed and restructured (a process he helped lead between roughly 2010 and 2016), he became CEO of the parent company, Spotlight Group AB, in June 2014, and a board member in July 2014. He has been described internally as instrumental in business development, organizational growth and the build-out of the group's systems and strategic partnerships. As of the most recent disclosures he again also serves as CEO of the Spotlight Stock Market subsidiary (a role reflected from 2025).

An important clarification on the source stub: while Gönczi is categorized as an "Angel Investor" with a "Seed Round" focus in the provided data, his public role is as the operator/CEO of a marketplace where early-stage and growth companies list shares and raise capital — not as a documented personal angel investor with a published deal portfolio. He is a significant shareholder in Spotlight Group itself: filings list him holding 238,247 shares (about 4.53% of votes and capital) plus 5,500 warrants. The "seed/early-stage" framing fits the companies his platform serves rather than a personal angel-investing track record that could be independently verified.

Spotlight Group consists of several independent businesses with a shared purpose of helping companies grow, including the marketplaces and services Spotlight Stock Market, Sedermera (Sedermera Fondkommission), Nordic Issuing and MCL — focused on capital raising for growth companies and on exchange/stock-market law and advisory.

• Operates at the small-cap / growth-company end of the public markets: Spotlight Stock Market is a marketplace designed to make it simpler and more accessible for smaller and growth companies to list and raise capital.
• Sector-agnostic across the Nordics — the marketplace and its sister firms (Sedermera, Nordic Issuing) support listings and capital raises across life science, technology, industrials and consumer sectors.
• The group's stated purpose is to "simplify growth for companies," combining a trading venue (Spotlight Stock Market) with capital-raising advisory (Sedermera) and issuing/settlement services (Nordic Issuing) so a company can be supported through and beyond a listing.
• His leadership emphasis has been on business development, organizational scaling and strategic partnerships, plus navigating the regulatory evolution of the marketplace from lightly regulated origins to a modern, supervised venue.
