About Joakim Nydren
Joakim Nydrén is based in Stockholm, Sweden. Crunchbase lists him as a co-founder of Foreseeti, a Swedish cybersecurity company founded in 2014 as a spin-off from KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Dealroom describes Foreseeti as a provider of proactive cyber risk management software. Crunchbase gives his Foreseeti title as Co-founder and CCO, while Dealroom refers to him as co-founder and CEO.
Crunchbase also lists him as a Product Manager at Google since April 2022, and says he attended the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. A post on his LinkedIn feed says he founded his first company at Jönköping Science Park in 2007. In a LinkedIn post, he also announced that attack path simulation was being added to Google's Security Command Center.
The public record of his angel activity is thin. The investment found in public sources is Oplane's seed round in 2026, which Crunchbase and CB Insights both list. He invested alongside Robert Lagerström, who is also a Foreseeti co-founder per Crunchbase, and Emil Eifrem. No other angel investments, exits or check sizes could be confirmed.
On the Lounge deals desk, Joakim Nydrén appears in the Oplane Seed of $5.2M (EUR 4.5M), dated June 2026. ArcticStartup reports that <cite>Seed Capital led the round, with Icebreaker.vc as an existing investor and Nydrén among the participating angels</cite>. Oplane is a Malmö-based agentic security platform for AI coding teams, founded in 2022 by Emil Kvarnhammar, Oscar Andersson and Anders Söderling. It automates threat modeling for software built with AI coding tools. The company plans to use the funding to expand commercial operations in Europe, add integrations with tools such as Claude Code, Cursor and GitHub Copilot, and hire across engineering, cybersecurity, QA and go-to-market.
He has not published a thesis, check size or preferred stage. The one confirmed investment is a seed-stage, Europe-based AI security company, and his own career has been in cybersecurity. Founders in AI security and developer security tooling are the clearest fit on the evidence available, but this is an inference from his background and one deal, not a stated focus.
