Our vision is to create a fair, transparent and profitable environment for all the farming world. Farmers are dedicating theirlives in cultivating their fields, but get the lowest value of all the sales cycle, so we believe they need to receive a more fair share. Buyers have the right to have more options and buy at better prices, so we want to be the ones to solve this inequality in both sides.

ALMI Invest consists of eight regionally based venture capital funds, all with local offices and experienced local investment managers. We manage a total of SEK 1 billion.
Unlike most venture capitalists,we can invest in a wide range of businesses. A strong team of entrepreneurs, a scalable business model and an initial revenue stream are more important than the line of business when we invest.Our first, initial investment would typically be SEK 2-4 million. 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.
