It was a pleasure bringing our portfolio’s top marketing people together this week at Shepper’s offices in London!

#Marketing is a tricky function to get right and are also often blamed for commercial slumps. It is crucial to get it right, and in order to get the internal buy-in and budget you need a common understanding of the trafeoff between long term investments in #branding vs short term gains from #sales. 

Great talks by Jon Evans, Naeem Alvi and Lindsay Forster. 

We appreciate all who weighed in on the discussions and shared their learnings as the day started out very collaborative. Interesting to see how that changed once we added the competitive element and Plonk Crazy Golf 😉

Pheww what a week! Our team seems to be all over the world this week with Krisztina Horvath in San Francisco and Seattle 🇺🇸, Glenn Gill at SaaSiest in Malmö 🇸🇪, Kristian Øvsthus and Frida Rustøen at the Oslo Tech Excursion 🇳🇴, and Alex Rahaman at Zero One Hundred Conferences (PE & VC Platform) in London 🇬🇧!

We are thrilled to announce our latest investment into Celerway Communication 💥. Celerway provides an unparalleled solution through their connectivity and edge computing platform. This platform is the foundation that connects, secures and manages critical edge applications and services for a large and growing set of global customers!

We have followed Celerway Communication and Audun Fosselie Hansen for several years and are impressed with the development, innovation and grit shown by him and his team. This is only the start and we look forward to the coming years building a large global company out of Norway (and UK, US, Poland++)!
