Unlike most venture capitalists,we can invest in a wide range of businesses.

During the lifetime of an investment, sums of up to SEK 10 million can be ventured. We always syndicate with an investment partner (another venture capitalist or angel investor) from Sweden or otherwise which means that we can take a maximum of 50 percent of an investment round.ALMI Invest was founded in 2009 by ALMI Fretagspartner together with regional investors. Half of our capital comes from European Union structural funds, which accounts for an investment of SEK 500 million. The other 50 per cent comes from regional investors and ALMI Fretagspartner.
