Group Mission

Our mission is to increase shareholder value through strategic clarity, enhanced visibility among strategic stake holders, and contribute to market access in the USA and Norway.

Significance–the rare combination of meaning, excellence, and effect.

Our Approach to Business

Why We Exist

Success without significance is just noise. Great companies grow because they matter.​

The world doesn’t need more ideas. It needs to put ideas to work, ideas that inspire and keep moving society forward. Even the best ideas fails without attention, access, or trust. That’s where we come in.

What we do

We help companies grow into what they were truly meant to be — influential, credible, and capable of making a lasting difference and creating shareholder value.

Advising on capital, brand, and US market access, we partner with businesses that seek relevance, meaning, and real-world impact.

Our Promise

We strive to be significant partners for our clients — so they can do significant things for all stakeholders and the world.

We measure our success by the success of our clients, the influence, integrity, and impact we bring to long-term equity growth.
