Common to all our companies is that they have strong teams, scalable business models and a potential to become an international leader in their industry. With technology experience being our background, we actively apply technology in our companies to create lasting competitive advantages.<\/p>\n

Karbon Invest is characterized by being an active, long-term, constructive and lead owner in the companies in which we invest. Our contribution is recognized through active participation at board level, but perhaps even more important, through daily sparring and assistance. Among other things, Karbon Invest assists the portfolio companies in setting the strategic direction, development of business plans and being a discussion partner during strategic decisions. Further we actively support and drive, when need be, M&A processes, scale-up and taking companies international and making sure companies are sufficiently financed for growth.<\/p>\n

We are close to our companies, and are thorough when considering new investments. Karbon Invest currently has a value-adjusted equity of around NOK 4 billion.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Succeeding at creating a business is a wonderful feeling, but it involves hard work. If you want to be able to achieve your ambitions, it is absolutely crucial to have a good strategy, a lot of courage, but perhaps first and foremost colleagues and supporters who are with you all the way from an idea to a success. Karbon has done this route several times and may be the crucial supporter you and your company need to make your dream come true<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We know that a company\u2019s success is not decided at the board meeting, or the general meeting. We strongly believe it is the owners, the board, management and the employees\u2019 collective efforts on a daily basis that builds stone upon stone, and forms the basis to success in the horizon. With Karbon you will have a partner who continues every step of the process to create a strong business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
