DNB NXT – where ideas meet capital
In DNB, we are committed to ensuring that Norway succeeds with more entrepreneurs, growth companies, and innovative business environments. DNB NXT is the meeting point for investors, start-ups and growth companies.
DNB NXT events are taking place all over Norway in the autumn of 2023. See an overview of the cities we are present in this year. Sign up today.
Norway’s largest meeting place for entrepreneurs and investors
Getting investment capital is one of the most important but also the most time-consuming activities that a growing start-up does, and it takes time to build the company. The eco-system for unlisted companies is fragmented and unclear.
To make it easier to meet and attract investors, we have launched DNB NXT Arena together with CrowdWorks – a digital meeting place for investors and entrepreneurs.
Growth financing
Financing growth
In general, this mainly involves using support schemes, obtaining equity and applying for loans. It can be difficult to get an overview of the different opportunities and what the ideal combination of equity and debt is. In this process, we want to be a good adviser as a bank.
Loans
Loan financing makes sense when you have the ability to pay down debt and the ability to place collateral for the loan. Loans can be provided by the government, banks and private investors. Common to these is an assessment of the risk and your ability to be able to repay the loan.
Crowdfunding
In recent years, crowdfunding has grown sharply in Norway. Equity-based crowdfunding or loan-based crowdfunding will generally be most applicable during a growth phase.
