Vilhelm Hedberg is a pioneering entrepreneur and investment leader operating at the high-stakes intersection of mobility, technology, and capital markets. As the Founder and Chairman of Lynx Holdings, he is currently spearheading Fleet Fund Alpha EMEA—a regulated investment platform designed to transform vehicle fleets into a sophisticated institutional asset class. By structuring vehicle assets into scalable investment vehicles backed by long-term leasing and deep operational data, Vilhelm is unlocking institutional capital for ride-hailing, delivery, and rental operators across Europe, the UK, and the Gulf.
Before Lynx Holdings, Vilhelm fundamentally reshaped the Middle Eastern transport landscape as the founder of ekar, the region’s first car-sharing platform. Under his visionary leadership, ekar scaled across multiple international markets, reaching $100 million in annual revenue and completing over 2 million bookings. He successfully raised more than $60 million from top-tier regional and international investors, while simultaneously developing industry-leading AI-driven systems for fleet rebalancing and dynamic pricing.
A recognized Endeavor Entrepreneur, Vilhelm’s influence extends into the global venture capital and sustainability sectors. He serves on the Investment Committee at Antler, the global early-stage VC firm, where he identifies and supports the next generation of tech disruptors. Furthermore, his expertise in sustainable urban growth is sought after by Masdar’s Smart Cities Advisory Committee, where he contributes to the evolution of next-generation transport infrastructure.
With over a decade of experience building scalable, data-driven platforms, Vilhelm is a leading voice on the "fintech-ization" of mobility and the future of sustainable, cash-flowing transportation infrastructure.
