About Jacob Wallenberg
Public information on this investor is limited. His LinkedIn profile, which lists the Greater Stockholm area and Investor AB as an employer, shows few details without signing in.
Several deal databases name him "Jacob Wallenberg Jr." as an angel in the Scape round. We did not find a source that links this investor to the better-known Swedish banker Jacob Wallenberg (born 1956), who chairs Investor AB. Founders should not assume the two are the same person. Companies he has built or run are not documented in the sources we found.
The only angel investment we could confirm is Scape, in July 2026. Deal databases list him as a participant. His role in the round, such as lead or follow-on, is not disclosed. We found no public record of his earlier angel investments, so no count or dates are given.
Scape is a Stockholm startup building an AI-native email client. According to Dealroom, it drafts replies before a thread is opened, reads meeting notes, and creates or edits attachments. Dealroom reports that it raised $3.2M (about 31M SEK) in a seed round. General Catalyst and Y Combinator backed the round, and the angels included Sophia Bendz, Sebastian Knutsson, Max Junestrand and Jacob Wallenberg Jr. CB Insights dates the round to 23 July 2026.
Melvin Hagberg and Elis Hodzic, both 23, founded the company in 2024 after Hagberg joined Y Combinator's summer programme. The team plans to use the new capital mainly to hire developers.
The one confirmed investment is a seed-stage AI application company in Sweden. That is too little to describe a pattern. We found no public statements from him about check size, preferred stage, sectors or what he looks for in founders, so none are given here.
- Scape: Stockholm-based AI-native email inbox that drafts replies and prioritises work email. He joined its $3.2M seed round in July 2026 alongside General Catalyst, Y Combinator and FundersClub.
