We have invested in KRING’s impact fund because we see great potential in this asset class. At the same time we can really help people whose mission and strong focus on impact and entrepreneurship in a structured way.
Tommy Thomsen
CEO, Lauritzen Foundation
I have known KRING for many years and am an investor. Besides being an interesting and unusual investment, it gives me relevant information, motivation and inspiration that I can use in my other activities, and it is of course always a pleasure to be able to share my own experiences in the individual companies.
Lars Thuesen, Former CEO at Basisbank, SVP at Nordea, and CFO at SAS
My knowledge of KRING originated during my time at A.P. Møller – Maersk, and I have followed them for many years. As an investor, it is interesting for me to be part of an entrepreneurial, yet structured set-up, which both creates opportunities for some valuable investments, and at the same time focuses on making a positive difference for people and for society. It is a combination that KRING has cultivated for many years, and which I personally find relevant.
Claus V. Hemmingsen, Chairman at Maersk Drilling
It is a pleasure to be a part of KRING as an investor. I myself come from an entrepreneurial family and place great importance on working with people who have their heart in the right place combined with creating good business. It is essential for me that the business concept focuses on sustainability in order to make a positive difference for both people and society.

KRING Speedbooting 2022 focus and methodology
We face the needs of creating new sustainable solutions to epic global problems as according to UN requires $ 5-7 trillion investments each year until 2030 – we focus on solving problems related to SDG 3 and 7.
Leaders, companies and societies are in need of discovering new ways to speed up sustainable innovation and execution to transform and meet these new realities, threads and opportunities.
A systemic, digital and entrepreneurial approach that can add the necessary speed, user centric innovation and scalability to turn societal problems into business opportunities and impact are in high demand.
In the start zero’s KRING pioneered new ways of building digital business solutions for corporates and financial institutions. Since 2010 KRING started pioneering what’s today called SpeedbootingTM ; an innovation capability for entrepreneurial co-creation of new digital business ventures.

Since 2016 SpeedbootingTM was supported by two smaller funds with the results of building ventures with a significant value creation and much higher success rates than normal start ups.
SpeedbootingTM 2022 will raise both the impact and the returns significantly by raising real capital to follow the smart capital and hard work in the pre seed and seed phases, a more focused application of the SpeedbootingTM process and development of our Scale Fast process to enable follow on investments and longer holding period to maximize impact and returns for most successful ventures.
Corporate Co-Creation: Our unfair advantage
We are co-creating Speedboats (companies) together with large corporates to accelerate corporates strategies, customer centricity and business agility. Furthermore, this accelerates the value creation for our sustainable impact companies and gives us an unfair advantage.
Here is what our recent Corporate Co-creation partners said about our co-creation process:
We are very excited to work with KRING on acceleration of some of our high potential university startups and early-stage teams. The combination of DTU startups’ Deep Tech knowledge and KRINGs extensive Speedbooting framework, commercialization capability, corporate network and impact funding will enable some of our high potential projects to materialize as valuable impact ventures faster than otherwise possible

KRING's speed-booting approach, process, and tools possess a unique capability that I haven't seen anywhere else. With the customer at the center and a high level of speed and execution power, we create some unique customer solutions. Therefore, at Nordea, we are particularly pleased to collaborate in co-creating several new customer-centered solutions with KRING.

I have collaborated closely with KRING and personally experienced the effectiveness of KRING's Co-creation model in the creation of a new customer-centered business model and platform-based company established in partnership with PKA Pension and Ørsted. It is highly recommended.
.
We have had a good and close collaboration with KRING for many years. We sit on the board with KRING and have ongoing discussions about the development of new business platforms. KRING is adept at identifying new opportunities, and their values such as responsibility, along with their strong focus on individual people and sustainability agenda, also align well with us as a bank. I can wholeheartedly recommend KRING as a business partner, and at AL-Bank, we look forward to continued fruitful collaboration in the future.
.
We have previously worked with KRING, and it is natural for us to become an investor in KRING's new impact fund, having closely followed the development and results. We strongly believe in their robust sustainability focus, the people behind the fund, and their unique 'Speedbooting' approach to creating tomorrow's winning companies.
