• Trust is built over time but could disappear in an instant

Enablers of Sweden is the result of a multi-year study and analysis of the interaction between companies and external funding. The results clearly pointed out the huge challenge the entrepreneurs have gaining access to venture capital, with the effect that promising innovations simply being discontinued and not been realized.

One of the reasons is the complexity of making the business idea understandable to the right recipient/investor at the right time. The second is that the investors often have a lack of competence and experience to optimally evaluate and assess the risks and full potential of each business case. The third is that there is no “natural” meeting place for these two groups.

We also noted that the path to available external capital in all forms is extremely unclear, fragmented and unstructured. There is no actor today who offers a complete solution, guides and supports idea carriers, growth/startup companies in the commercial phase and help them find the right capital at every given time.

This explains why we started Enablers of Sweden, a major “gamechanger” that fundamentally changes the way companies get access to external funding and changing the conditions for how investors globally gain access to investment opportunities and optimized dealflow.
