Saminvest is a state-owned venture capital company established by the Swedish government in 2016. Its primary mission is to stimulate the Swedish venture capital market by investing in privately managed funds and angel investor programs, often serving as an anchor investor. By doing so, Saminvest aims to enhance the availability of private capitalin sectors and development phases where such funding is lacking. The organization actively supports the formation of new management teams to foster growth and development within Sweden's venture capital ecosystem. Saminvest places a strong emphasis on sustainability and gender equality, setting clear requirements for funds to pursue these objectives. Investments are made on a market-return basis to encourage private co-investment
