Amir Marandi, CEO and co-founder of Zaver, will take the stage at Funding Day 2026 — one of Sweden’s leading meeting places for entrepreneurs, investors and decision-makers within tech and finance.
Under the session title “Så skalar du till miljardvärdering”, Amir will share the journey from early-stage startup to billion-SEK valuation.

During the session, Amir will highlight:
- How to build scalable infrastructure in a highly regulated market
- Capital as fuel for growth — not a safety net
- Key decisions that accelerated Zaver’s expansion
- Lessons learned from decisions that slowed momentum
- What investors truly look for in today’s market
