Some collaborations don't end.
They grow.

After the stage and the coaching, something more often happens: The people and projects I work with want to go further. Then I come in with what I have: Capital, working capital or creative capital, and join the journey.

How I think about capital

The world is investing enormous sums in making intelligence cheaper: Chips, compute, energy.

But when intelligence becomes cheap, the bottleneck moves. The next scarcity is not more intelligence. It is the wisdom that governs it: Presence, judgement, trust, meaning.

So I invest in two curves. The outer: Companies that solve the bottlenecks between energy and intelligence. The inner: Companies that make people wiser, in body, health, learning and awareness. And the ones I look for most do both: They build intelligence with the wisdom built in.

The ability to govern intelligence becomes worth more than the intelligence itself. That is my thesis. And it is the same on stage, in the coaching and in the portfolio.

The one thing that would solve the most problems: It's all people's problems. I wish you good luck with your project, Kyrre.
