NXT Phase: Accelerating SME Growth

Investors

NXT RESILIENCE offers our investors unique access to unlisted growth companies in the total defense industry. At the same time, we provide necessary growth capital to companies so that they can scale up their operations and meet the needs of democracies around the world.

The sectors we invest in

Defense

Increased geopolitical unrest and global strategic competition have led to a continuously increasing trend in grants and investments. Military collaborations and trade alliances are expanding, with BRIC countries broadening their influence. As a result, total defense is becoming increasingly critical moving forward

Cyber security

Cyber security is experiencing a growth rate significantly higher than the market's, accelerated by the current security policy situation and ongoing digitalization. Regulations with requirements for companies, such as those from the USA SEC, are driving investments from states and companies that cannot be avoided. This is a prerequisite for the upcoming transformation.

Space

The space industry is experiencing an intensified race, focusing on critical infrastructure and logistics and trade systems. Expansion in this sector is essential for digitalization. Additionally, it encompasses surveillance and defense, as well as carbon reduction and climate research.

At what stage do we invest

We invest in the the Growth phase and when the criteria for investment is fulfilled. There should be a product/service in the market. A proof of concept an also be sufficient if the case is really strong and where there is substantial growth to be found with the right competence, capital and focus.
We will together, as partners, make sure that the company is focusing on sustainable business development and have market expansion strategies in place.

Diversification

An important part in any investment is making sure that you have sufficient diversification. This is how we do it.

Diversification is achieved through the number of companies (targeting 8-12), investment size, and the stage of the company. Additionally, diversification is enhanced through investments in different geographies. The geographies we look at are the ones we have extensive knowledge about companies, legislation and in which we have strong contacts. Priority 1 is the Nordics and priority 2 is NATO countries.

Co-investments and side pockets are viewed positively.

We will invest in companies where we own more than 10%, unless there are exceptionally good reasons not to.

The goal is to hold a majority stake when the company is in the growth phase, while ensuring that founders and key personnel retain ownership. Other key personnel will be offered incentive programs.
