Den Sociale Kapitalfond Invest
At Den Sociale Kapitalfond Invest we invest in small and medium-sized companies in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. We invest in companies that have good opportunities for growth and to make a positive difference in society.



Role models for socially responsible growth
Den Sociale Kapitalfond Invest helps companies to realise their full potential for growth, a positive social contribution to society and high enterprise value.
We combine a fierce focus on economic growth and earnings, based on many years of experience in buying, developing and selling companies – with professional expertise in turning social responsibility into good business.
We focus on the “overlooked heroes” in Scandinavian societies: Small and medium-sized companies with good opportunities for growth and to make a positive difference in society. These are typically companies in production, service and trade, and we provide capital for:
Growth
– for example, through acquisitions or investments in increased capacity
Partial capitalization
– the opportunity to cash in and gain a professional partner on your growth journey
Management buy-in/buyout
– where we help to take over the largest possible ownership stake
