Values

Our family believes in compassion, creation and change. We daily strive to live by our core values and their related sub-values. Investment, ownership and divestment decisions are continuously calibrated against these values. We define our values as the following: 

 

Compassion

We care for the wellbeing of others. Cultivating a warm-hearted empathy for others brings purpose and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter.

 

Trust

We are trustworthy and likewise trust others. We are honest, credible and keep our promises. Over time this enables us to grow our integrity and develop deep long term durable relationships. We show strength and build trust by being transparent about our vulnerabilities and current challenges. 

Include

We all belong. We try to feel what is going on with those we associate with to envision ourselves in their world, and try to relate to what is happening to them.

 

Democratize

Equity for all. Fairness, justice and balance are essential to us. We can not accept the unjust and unbalanced. We treat everyone equally and fairly as everyone should have a fair chance. 

Creation

Our family’s experience of freedom and liberty is being able to create, grow and develop in new ways and dimensions. We create for the new and the diverse.

 

Explore

Diversify to branch out in life. We believe that curiosity is the seed of exploration. We envision the future, try to see the possibilities, improvements and how amazing it can all be. 

 

Fail

We love to play, get ideas, and everything that is new. We play with new thoughts that put everything in a new light or which makes the old gain new value. We hereby fail often, as we see it as a natural part of playing.

 

Act

We act today because we value causation. We know that if we act, work hard and are disciplined we can realize our dreams. Such achievement inspires us to develop new goals and missions. 

 

Change

We want to give our best to leave the world better than when we arrived, and take responsibility for advancing human evolution. In the process we dare ourselves to passionately innovate, and build while living up to the responsibility of owning assets.  

 

Dare 

Entrepreneurship translates to be bearing risk. Everything that is new is by definition unknown which in turn creates risk. We accept personal and financial risk and build the courage to dare to take calculated risks for the inverse upsides it has always brought our family. 

 

Innovate

We look for patterns that can create automated systems that can bring positive change for society. We innovate by bringing technology, processes, automatons and robotics to people in unserved markets.  

 

Own

When we take ownership we take responsibility for the whole meaning we have accountability for the whole. Once we commit, we are persistent and continue until we have achieved what we set out to do. When we fail, we accept and take accountability for the mistakes we make as we see failing as a natural consequence of trying new things with the right intention.
