Say hello to the Amps
Our team has hands on experience from developing, leading and growing companies from small startups to significant Nordic players. We have “learned the hard way” having been founders and having had hands-on operative roles in growth companies ourselves that growing a company requires massive amounts of hard work.
Our approach is to be partners – for real.
