About us

 

Nyvik is all about the human side of entrepreneurial journeys and on reducing risk and improving likelihood of success - by aligning incentives and beliefs and by designing favourable pre-conditions and structures from which to win over time.

Nyviks main objective is to support great teams and great cases accumulate momentum and speed great enough to push straight through the resistance inherent in all new ventures and out on the other side.

 

Our

approach

Nyvik is comprised as a growing partnership of seasoned entrepreneurs, experienced investors and outstanding professionals from all walks of life and backgrounds. All brought together by a set of shared values and principles and by the sheer joy of creating, growing and improving meaningful businesses together. We’d rather not be labelled since we seek to create a platform and a movement in the shape of a company that has no real predecessors. And this is because the times we as a generation are fortunate enough to live in, and are heading towards, has no real historical comparisons.

For the first time in history the capitalistic force of market based economies are no longer in polarized friction with the uprising of environmental, societal and human needs of our planet and it’s populations. They are slowly, not without friction but yet with inevitable force, converging and colliding into a new market synthesis. Seeking a new spiraling configuration around each other, in order to survive. How exactly this will play out, we do not know. We do know however that in no other period of modern civilisation has the opportunity for building new businesses with genuinely positive and transformational impact upon whole industries and their connected stakeholders, been any greater than precisely right now. At the same time and when actually needed the most, the broader public engagement in party politics hits new low points and the fragmentation and polarisation of many elected assemblies, national and multinational, puts a freeze on their ability to cater to the imminent need of action and of accelerated change.

 

Thus and with that said, we place our bets and put our faith in the hands of the entrepreneurs of the world. The believers, creators, collaborators, risk takers and doers - whom are putting themselves, their names and their comfort at risk - in order to seek to create an improved tomorrow. Within this conceptual framework Nyvik operates as a partnership of highly motivated and highly skilled professionals working in cross functional 360 teams. Free to build and free to address whatever thematic topic in what ever suitable way, with only one golden standard in place, will this most likely result in a positive outcome for which we will be proud? 

Joining Nyvik is for the selected few, willing to give something up and willing to walk through the risk of failure. Our take on the topic of risk is however inspired by the maybe worn out, yet equally true if you make it true, Mandela quote, “We never lose. We either win or learn”.

Care to win or learn together? Don’t be a stranger. We’d love to see you up in our attic for a cup of coffee and a chat.

 
 

Our

history

 

Nyvik Holding was founded in 2007 and has been part of the startup ecosystem ever since. Nyvik Holding was the principal founder of Offerta Group AB, divested to Fortnox 2021. Nyvik Holding as of now holds and supports a startup portfolio of 23 promising ventures run by great entrepreneurs.

Why the name Nyvik? 

Nyvik stems form the quaint little town just below Umeå, Sweden. It’s a town that most people would miss in passing. A hidden gem in plain sight. That’s partially the reason why we wanted to embody the name but also as a tribute to a place that has profound meaning to us on a individual level. Although Nyvik as a company started in 2007 but the idea of Nyvik was born a lot earlier than that. We started out with humble beginnings and trough hard work and humility we’ve been fortunate enough to have landed in the place we are today. We believe we can be a breath of fresh air in a crowded market, someone who want to help you grow as a company and as a team.

  • Cocky teams learn slower.

    Cocky team members collaborates worse.

    Humble and tentative teams learn faster.

    Learning and adopting fast and without pride is instrumental for success.

  • Dishonest teams erodes trust internally as well externally. Without trust there can be no long term success.

    And there will be no joy.

  • There is no short cut through the woods than to go through the woods. Chopping down trees if needed.

  • Team commitment to one another and to the journey ahead is pivotal to end game victory. As is commitment to the actual plan and the whole purpose of the plan.

  • Complementing competences.

    Validated broad and deep competences that complements each other is priceless.

  • Sometimes people wrongly mistakes competence in general with the capability of actually getting shit done. In a professional pace. They are not the same.

  • How do they interact with each other?

    Is there room for everyone? Does everyone contribute? Is there trust? And laughter?

  • Is there a curious approach to questions, relatable experiences and generally to the opinions of others and the world around?

  • Is there guts? Is there a bold and brave approach the journey ahead? Is their vulnerability and adequate self awareness and self reflection?

  • How is the team resilience? How will they cope with though times and setbacks?

  • Is there as profound sense of loyalty and comraderie going on? Upon which fundamentals values and set of rules are the team built?

  • At the end of the day someone is and must be responsible. At least in our opinion. An inevitable part of great team is therefore a great commander in chief who carries the weight of responsibility and of accountability on behalf of the team, and

    who knows when to lead in front, when to lead from behind and when to

    simply stay away and let others take the helm.

  • The general macro conditions and trends going forward for the case to tap into and to collect attention and supportive momentum from.

  • The specific market competition and conditions for the case to operate and win within.

  • The core mechanics of value creation within the business model.

  • The dynamics of scale and growth inherent within the business model.

  • The protective walls around the business model and thus it’s inherent staying power ability over time.
