Investments
Troll Ventures invest mainly in companies with passionate down-to-earth entrepreneurs which builds rock-solid long-lasting services to improve our well-being and surroundings.
For the record: My integrity between being an advisor and investor is 100%, and I neither have (over the last 20 years) or will (in the coming 20 years) recommend any company or service because of my investments. I only recommend what's imho is best for the one getting the recommendation. Period.
