European mandate
- Geographic fit
- Innovative Swedish startups with scalable models and international market potential
- Round behaviour
- Active minority investor that always invests alongside independent private capital
Founder fit
- Strongest documented fit
- Designed for incorporated Swedish startups at pre-seed, seed or early growth with scalable models, strong teams and international potential. Regional funds typically invest SEK 1 million to SEK 4 million initially; GreenTech has a larger initial range for companies with material climate benefits.
- Limits and questions to verify
- Almi Invest cannot invest alone: an independent private co-investor is required, and the company must be registered in Sweden. Solo-founder companies, consultancies and locally limited businesses are outside the published criteria.
- Active-fund and deployment evidence
- Almi's current venture-capital and eligibility pages publish the Swedish registration rule, stage and sector scope, initial ranges, co-investment requirement, active ownership model and team criteria.
