Are you our next entrepreneurial star and a role model for a new generation of business owners from Gothenburg’s vulnerable areas?
At Destination Invest, we are looking for driven individuals who want to create positive change, while building profitable ventures with both heart and vision. We provide venture capital to business ideas with the potential to generate both financial and societal value.
What is Venture Capital?
Venture capital is a form of financing where investors provide capital to early-stage or growing companies in exchange for an ownership stake, with the potential for high returns but also a high risk. Venture capital helps entrepreneurs develop their ideas, expand operations, and reach the market faster than would be possible with traditional financing methods.
For entrepreneurs, venture capital offers:
-
Financial Support: Capital to develop products, expand markets, and increase scalability.
-
Strategic Advice: Access to experienced mentors and advisors who can help shape the company’s strategy and growth.
-
Networking Opportunities: The chance to connect with other companies, investors, and partners that can support the company’s development.
If you would like to learn more about the benefits and drawbacks of venture capital, we encourage you to do some research and be as well-prepared as possible before submitting your application.
Investment criteria: is your company right for us?
Our criteria ensure that we invest in companies which create long-term impact in the vulnerable areas where we operate, while also fostering sustainable growth.
Note: If the company is neither located in nor connected to a vulnerable area at the time of application, we will not proceed with the application process. A prerequisite for the application to be considered is that the company meets at least one of the three geographic criteria.
