APPROACH
How I work
I take on two to four engagements at a time. Not more. That is how I can make a real difference – and why I prefer ownership to fees.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Strategic advisor
Monthly sparring with the CEO on leadership, organisation, selling to defence and fundraising.
3–5 HOURS A MONTH
Advisory board member
A seat on your advisory board, four to six meetings a year.
3–4 HOURS A MONTH
Board member or Chair
A formal board seat with full responsibility.
4–8 HOURS A MONTH
Co-investor
A small cash ticket alongside a lead investor.
BY AGREEMENT
PRINCIPLES
Skin in the game. Equity or warrants with vesting – I win when you win.
Few, and done properly. Two to four companies at a time.
Straight talk. Direct, constructive and based on data.
Discretion. Confidentiality is a requirement in defence, not an option.
WHO I WORK WITH
Founders of Nordic companies in defence, security, dual-use, robotics and industrial technology – typically 3 to 30 people, with a proven need in the market (a pilot, a letter of intent or a first customer), raising or about to raise DKK 2–30 million.
HOW WE START
1 Introduction
A 30-minute call.
2 Fit
Do I believe I can move something significant within 12 months?
3 Mutual due diligence
Under an NDA.
4 A 100-day plan
Three goals, a meeting rhythm and clear terms.
WHAT I DON’T DO
Lohbus does not run recruitment assignments or raise capital from others. If you need executive search, I will gladly introduce you to my colleagues at Odgers Berndtson.
