Frequently asked questions

Does Fouriertransform still make new investments?

No. The firm's direct-investment portfolio was transferred to Saminvest in 2017, and the last of the 67 legacy holdings was divested in the first quarter of 2024. All remaining capital has been redirected into Saminvest's fund-commitment program. Fouriertransform no longer operates as a standalone check-writer.

Who originally funded Fouriertransform?

The Swedish government provided the original capital through state mechanisms; at the time of the 2017 restructuring, the assets contributed from Fouriertransform and Inlandsinnovation totalled approximately SEK 5 billion. The state remains the ultimate beneficiary through parent Saminvest, which is wholly owned by the Swedish state and reports to the Ministry of Enterprise.

What happened to the Fouriertransform team?

The investment team and corporate functions were absorbed into Saminvest in 2017. No separate Fouriertransform management team remains; Saminvest's board and executive leadership oversee all remaining operations, following the Swedish Corporate Governance Code.

What investment stages did Fouriertransform target?

The firm's mandate covered early-stage startups, expansion and late-stage rounds, growth equity, and PIPE (private investment in public equity) transactions. All activity terminated when the portfolio was swept into Saminvest, and no new direct deals are being pursued under the Fouriertransform name.

Does Fouriertransform maintain any co-investment or syndication relationships?

None that survive. All direct portfolio relationships were unwound during the seven-year divestiture program. The recycled capital now supports fund investments made by Saminvest, which has its own network of external manager relationships.
