Vaja raises SEK 34m: Evertrace spotted Henrik Eskilsson 684 days earlier

Vaja has raised SEK 34 million in seed funding, led by The Footprint Firm with participation from node.vc. The Stockholm-based company is building solar tracking technology to help solar farms generate more electricity throughout the day. Evertrace spotted the first signal of company formation for co-founder Henrik Eskilsson 684 days earlier.

Before the round

Evertrace first spotted Vaja in July 2024, when Henrik Eskilsson appeared as its CEO and co-founder. After co-founding Tobii, he was building a new company in solar energy.

We flagged it as a signal of company formation, 684 days before Vaja announced this seed round on 15 June 2026. The signal gave investors a named company, an experienced founder and a clear sector to follow.

What they're building

Vaja's system turns ground-mounted solar panels as the sun moves. It is designed for higher latitudes, where conventional solar tracking approaches are less effective.

The company serves farmers, landowners and commercial solar developers. Its focus is on capturing more useful generation across the day, including the morning and evening.

The round

The funding will support customer installations, further development of Vaja's solar tracking technology and team growth. The Footprint Firm led the round, joined by node.vc.
