  • The Stockholm School of Economics' venture fund employs an evergreen model, reinvesting a portion of exits to sustain long-term growth and support early-stage companies.
  • The Swedish startup ecosystem benefits from a strong foundation in engineering education, a collaborative culture among successful entrepreneurs, and early tech adoption initiatives that have collectively fostered global tech leaders like Spotify and Klarna.
