The Future of Work
The rapid digitalization of workplaces that occurred due to the
Covid-19 pandemic accelerated a trend that we had monitored
for some time, where employees were demanding more out of
their employers, influenced by the customer experience users
have grown accustomed to by consumer-facing digital platforms.
Our investment thesis in the space is anchored around three key
elements that we believe will be enduring:
the roll-out of new technologies and increased digitalisation;
the mainstream acceptance of remote working and the
ongoing relevance of gig jobs; and
• the war on talent and shift in expectations for company-
provided benefits and social security.
Over the last four months, Kinnevik has invested in all three
of these trends. Last year, we invested in Jobandtalent, the
leading digital challenger in the temporary staffing sector. This
quarter, Omnipresent and SafetyWing are two new investments
that ride, drive and build on these trends with their innovative
service offerings.

Net Asset Value
Omnipresent provides an end-to-end service to support and
guide businesses hiring talent globally. Where Omnipresent sets
itself apart is its expert understanding of local differences in a
globalized world. We have seen the benefits of its platform first-
hand - companies are scaling their operations into new markets
in ways they simply could not achieve without Omnipresent's
support. The business model is differentiated, and we believe
the team that co-founders Mathew and Guenther have built is
uniquely strong and can deliver on the vast market opportunity.
SafetyWing's vision is to build a global social safety net, ma-
king equal opportunities and freedom for everyone attainable
worldwide. The company's unique global travel and health in-
surance plan helps firms set themselves apart by offering better
benefits to remote workforces. We have been very impressed
with their strong team and company culture, and look forward to
support co-founders Sondre, Sarah and Hans on their continued
growth journey.

Leading the way in Diversity & Inclusion
In March, Kinnevik ranked first in the VC category of "Equality
Group's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion ("D&I") 2022 Private
Equity & Venture Capital Index". The index ranks over 300 busi-
nesses across the PE and VC industries on their equality, diversity,
and inclusion performance across six categories: leadership,
actions and policies, work-life balance, inclusive team, explicit
D&I support, and additional public information. While we are
proud of this achievement, we are not satisfied, and we remain
committed to our D&l strategy and the updated set of D&l targets
we communicated earlier this year. We continue to challenge our
own and others' non-inclusive and biased norms by proactively
changing our behaviours and making D&l an integral part of our
culture, leadership and investment process.
Concluding Remarks
The war in Ukraine is a humbling reminder of the fragility of
peace and dramatically reduces the importance of financial
returns. Navigating the current market environment is challen-
ging, but with our long-term horizon, broad portfolio of growth
companies and solid financial position, we stand strong despite
the current uncertainty. Challenging times often spur innovation,
and thanks to our strong market position we are ready to support
founders who are building transformative digital companies that
make people's lives better. Despite the new macropolitical and
financial realities, it is our firm belief that quality companies with
innovative customer propositions and strong traction will con-
tinue to grow and create value. In May, we will host our Annual
General Meeting, and I look forward to welcoming shareholders
in person for the first time in three years.
