Vanliga frågor om riskkapital

To be considered for investment, a company must meet our investment criteria. We invest in innovative Swedish startups with global potential, strong teams and scalable business models.

We always invest alongside private investors and can provide up to 50% of a funding round.

We are particularly interested in companies that:

• Develop unique and innovative solutions that create clear customer value
• Have teams with diverse skills, experiences and perspectives
• Build scalable business models, often based on technology or a clearly defined niche
• Address real customer problems in large and growing markets

In addition, companies should typically:

• Be at the pre-seed, seed or early growth stage
• Have ambitions to compete internationally
• Be open to additional investors, as Almi Invest never invests alone

We are sector-agnostic but have a particular focus on areas such as Tech, Deep Tech, Industry, Life Science and Sustainability.

For companies that may be relevant for Almi Invest GreenTech, we also assess their potential to deliver measurable climate or environmental benefits.

 
 

Almi Invest GreenTech invests in startups and growth companies that can deliver measurable climate or environmental benefits, for example by:

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
• Improving resource efficiency
• Reducing the use of water, land or raw materials
• Supporting environmental sustainability, including biodiversity

The GreenTech Fund invests in companies with the potential to reduce at least several hundred thousand tonnes of CO₂e annually within 5–15 years, or otherwise create significant and measurable environmental impact.

As with all our investments, a strong team, innovative technology and clear market potential are essential.

You always submit your pitch through the same application form. We assess internally whether a company is best suited for GreenTech or one of our other funds.

Pitch your startup here

 
 

You pitch to Almi Invest through our online pitch form.

There, you provide a brief description of your company, your funding requirements and contact details, and upload your pitch deck. The pitch deck is particularly important because it forms the basis of our initial assessment of whether your company fits our investment focus.

Your pitch deck helps us quickly understand the potential of your business and determine whether it is at the right stage for investment.

If you would like to prepare more thoroughly, we recommend our guide to creating a winning pitch deck. The guide explains how to present your vision, problem, solution, team, market, business model, validation, competition, funding needs and exit strategy.

No.

Simply submit your pitch deck through our website and we will ensure that it is reviewed by the most relevant regional fund or by the GreenTech team.

We aim to provide an initial response within a few weeks.

The timeframe may vary depending on the volume of applications and the current investment focus of the relevant fund.

The process typically includes:

• Submission of a pitch
• Initial meeting
• In-depth analysis
• Due diligence
• Investment decision
• Agreements and execution

After you submit your pitch, we carry out an initial assessment based on our investment criteria.

If the opportunity is relevant, we arrange a first meeting where you present your company and answer more detailed questions. We then conduct an assessment of the team, market, product and traction.

The next stage is due diligence, where we review key documentation and investment prerequisites. At the same time, we discuss the funding round and collaboration with co-investors.

Following due diligence, we move into our investment decision process and agreement negotiations. Once the agreements are finalised, the investment is completed and the company becomes part of the Almi Invest portfolio.

In some cases, we provide an early rejection if it is clear that the company does not match our investment criteria.

This allows both the company and our investment team to focus their time on opportunities that are a stronger fit for our investment mandate.
