What value does Almi Invest add to entrepreneurs?

Almi Invest is Sweden’s most active startup investor and makes about 200 new and follow-up investments annually. This means we have many years of experience of investments in startups, understanding their challenges with different business models in different markets. Startups need experienced, professional investment managers who are engaged in your company’s successes and adversities. With Almi Invest as an investor you get an active owner that helps grow your company, often through board positions.

Our large investor network is also an advantage for follow-up investments in your company. Almi Invest has invested early on in companies that achieved success in the billions on the stock exchange, but also in companies that were subsequently sold to companies such as Google, Microsoft and Apple, or that received millions in follow-up investments.
