Up until recently, investors who had bet on oil equities over the last decade received mediocre returns, at best. Say one had invested $100 in the S&P Energy Index in 2012, that investment would have compounded to a mere $105 at the start of 2022. Instead, if one had invested $100 in the S&P 500 Index during the same period, one would have received $400. Given the poor track record of the industry, why are we so excited about the space? Put simply, we think the market dynamics have changed. On a forward-looking basis, energy supply/demand fundamentals coming out of COVID are the healthiest they have been in the last decade.

For more than a decade, Mattias Ljungman helped shake up Europe’s once-sleepy VC scene as the cofounder of Atomico, the $2.7bn firm that has backed the likes of Klarna and Lilium.
Now he’s back with a new firm to fill a gap in seed stage funding.
Today, Ljungman has formally launched Moonfire Ventures, which has raised a $60m fund to target seed and pre-seed deals. For Llungman, Moonfire is the latest sign that Europe has only just started to tap into a vast entrepreneurial potential.
Southern Right Capital is pleased to announce the final close of Asia Partners' inaugural fund at US$384,000,000 in commitments.
Asia Partners I, LP (the 'Fund') is the largest debut technology fund in history specifically focused on Southeast Asia, and one of the region’s largest debut funds across all industries.
In 2019, Mattias founded Moonfire, a European seed fund focused on helping founders at the very start of their journeys to create the right foundations for exponential growth.
For the last decade, he has seen how US seed has flourished, driving strong returns with successful funds, such as FirstRound, Felicis, Floodgate, Upfront, Uncork, and True Ventures. The same evolution is accelerating in Europe, as a flood of late-stage capital boosts demand for seed opportunities. Moonfire is perfectly placed to take a leading position in the nascent European seed ecosystem to help the next generation of founders and we got the chance to talk about it with him.
