Interim Ventures provides U.S. strategy, marketing and business development assistance for Nordic IT, Internet and wireless companies with unique technologies and thought-leading value propositions. Through a structured 5-phase process, Interim Ventures works to significantly reduce time and expense to the US market, close initial customer and partner deals and build the foundation for successful U.S. expansion.

We believe that the keys to success are attitude, competence and timing. Attitude to listen, understand, cooperate and go one step further. Attitude to seek out required competence in every person and in every activity. Competence to seek out the right timing…
