We believe in thinking sharp and moving fast.

Philosophy

NEW is not a consultancy agency

We do not believe continuous re-negatotiation of terms and sleepwalker incentives. We prefer skin in the game and the freedom to iterate and pivot. Why? Because the landscape is constantly shifting. Trust and transparency are essential values. What we bring to the table is sharp minds, forward leaning project management and improvisational abilities. We define shared high-level objectives together with our selected industrial and financial partners. Then we take on different management roles, and bring the project into the fast lane.

We live in a state of constant transformation

All value chains are changing. All businesses need to identify potential markets, rethink business models, use their existing position as a platform to reach new heights. NEW brings the startup spirit into established corporations. Sometimes we bring our own ideas to the table, or take leading executive roles in promising startups. Sometimes we help new spinoffs evolve from within an existing organisation. Sometimes we identify potential within an existing larger organisation that, given a team with hands-on expertise, can be turned into gold.

We always find smart paths through a shifting reality

We are wayfinders. But we do not stop by the signpost. We prefer walking the full distance - all the way to running business. Have you identified a promising market? Do you carry an unfulfilled idea? Is your company surrounded by a growth potential you are unable to reach? Can your technology be repurposed or built upon to become an independent business area? Is your startup at a standstill? NEW can provide you with true entrepreneurial spirit. We find the ideas that differentiate and turn them into companies for the future.

Entrepreneurial spirits with experience and creativity.
