Swedfund International

Swedfund International AB is a principal investment firm based in Stockholm, Sweden, established in 1979. It specializes in making direct investments and fund of funds investments, focusing on complex and high-risk environments primarily in emerging markets across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and non-EU countries in Eastern Europe. The firm provides risk capital in various forms, including equity, loans, and share options, typically investing between SEK 5 million and SEK 100 million. Swedfund does not invest in Swedish businesses or in sectors such as weapons, tobacco, or alcohol. It seeks to support seed, start-up, and mid to late venture stages, aiming for an exit within five to ten years. As a minority investor, Swedfund limits its investments to one-third of the total capital required and takes an active role by securing a Board seat in its portfolio companies. Additionally, it offers financial support to small and medium-sized Swedish enterprises for knowledge transfer and equipment investment but does not engage in donations or sponsorships. The firm also has an office in Nairobi, Kenya.
