Sofia Lindqvist

Sofia covers European enterprise software and vertical SaaS at Bergen Research, specializing in industry-specific software platforms, unit economics, and the private equity-led consolidation reshaping fragmented software verticals. Her analysis combines granular operator-level research: ARR growth, net revenue retention, gross margin progression, CAC payback: with thematic coverage of AI integration, embedded fintech, and cross-border platform expansion across the European software landscape.

Prior to Bergen Research, Sofia spent seven years in technology equity research in Stockholm and London, covering listed and pre-IPO European software companies across horizontal and vertical categories. Her coverage included Sage, Nemetschek, Dassault Systemes, and TeamViewer, alongside a range of smaller-cap vertical operators in construction tech, legal tech, and healthcare IT. She worked closely with institutional investors on IPO diligence and thematic deep-dives on European SaaS benchmarking relative to US peers.
