What We Do

What We Do

01

Holdings

We take significant minority positions in private businesses and hold them for the long term, backing the people who run them with patient capital and a steady hand rather than seeking control.

02

Investments

We invest across public and private markets with conviction and concentration — backing a small number of businesses we understand well, rather than diversifying for its own sake.

03

Advisory

We advise a select group of partners where our experience as owners and operators can add real, lasting value.

Nidaros, Trondheim

The Name

Where the name comes from

Nidaross takes its name from Nidaros, the old Norse name for Trondheim, Norway. Founded in 997 AD, it grew into one of the country's early centers of trade and faith, home to Nidaros Cathedral on the banks of the River Nid (today the Nidelva).

We keep the older spelling — Nidaross — from the Old Norse óss, meaning "the mouth of the river."

The city has stood for more than a thousand years. We chose the name as a simple reminder of how we prefer to work — carefully, in decades rather than quarters, on things meant to last. What began as an idea in 2010 we are now building on American soil, with that same long view.
