Fishbrain is a passionate and collaborative community with the tools you need to have the best possible fishing experience. With 200 million people sport fishing around the world, we’re connecting anglers to make fishing dreams come true, today and tomorrow. Here are some impressive stats: 15 million anglers use the platform, and have logged over 14 million catches. On any given day, Fishbrain lets you choose from over 1.7 million fishing locations worldwide. With all the new fishing information that keeps rolling in from our anglers, our engineers crunch the numbers to make the world’s best data-driven fishing recommendations. The Fishbrain experience happens in our mobile app, and we have some pretty cool features: - See where the big fish will be biting with our Fishing Forecast. - Share catches and moments with fellow anglers. - Explore catches and fishing spots on a local map. - Log your catches and track your personal angling progress. As a company, we value diversity. Some of us are anglers. Some of us are parents. All of us are human. We’re passionate about the outdoors and conservation. We have an open work culture. We have core values that we bring to life on a daily basis. Our Stockholm office is a cubicle-free, well-lit place, where teamwork is fluid and ongoing, and there’s always coffee brewing.

Platypus Partners provides capital raising services for private equity and other alternative investment firms. We think long-term but maintain the flexibility to consider highly targeted fundraises. The firm was founded in 2017 by Georgina Cadbury and George Curtis who have known each other for more than a decade. They previously worked together at Palmer Capital, prior to which George was an LP client of Georgina’s. We have a proven track record of sourcing high quality investments and executing fundraisings, including for first-time funds. Our investor base includes large family offices, fund of funds, endowments / charitable foundations, consultants, pension funds, insurance companies and sovereign wealth funds. Our core expertise is connecting sources of capital (principally European-domiciled) to private equity funds and direct investment opportunities. Platypus Partners is passionate about sourcing investments with unique attributes. The key to our success is simple - we are only as good as the people and firms we partner with. We undertake a meticulous approach to analysing potential mandates, ensuring they fit our investor base’s investment criteria. The output of our diligence results in a strictly limited number of assignments and the provision of a highly personalised service. We are process driven but without a ‘one size fits all’ mentality.
