/et al. is a digital consultancy that is in love with User Experience. From process to product, everything we do is about UX. It is not just usability/being user-friendly, but our approach to identifying original solutions to complex problems. Solutions that work for the end-user. Through our way of using UX, we challenge the existing digital world and help companies to not just keep up with the digital developing, but get ahead of the curve. We get ahead by basing our work on the most recent knowledge in the field. We exclusively hire students from relevant university programs to continuously have access to the best and brightest minds. We perceive these students to be the talent of the future – and who could better guide your company into the next big thing than them? By bridging the gap between the students and our customers, we give the students a golden opportunity to apply their skills and talent in a professional environment – while the companies get the opportunity to get new and capable eyes to look at their digital universe in a new light. /et al. stands for serious creativity. We constantly challenge the limits of what is possible, while remaining firmly grounded within the realm of possibility. We know that UX offers an almost unlimited amount of possibilities, but we remain realistic and make a tangible solution to the specific problem. Because of this, we have the guts to guarantee the best solutions for our customers. We know that UX is the future. And when we hire students, we are making sure that we remain ahead, dynamic and keep an objective view on digital solutions. That is how we can create results that exceed the customers expectations and that provide a competitive advantage in a fast-changing digital marketplace. Contact us for more information.

Founded in 2018, Nordic Secondary Fund is the first and only fund in the Nordics to exclusively invest in secondaries. The Private Equity “Secondaries” asset class is an attractive alternative investment with high yields and is a source of diversification for investors to mitigate overall risk. As a result of an acceleration in the number of potential business opportunities, especially tech-based, along with better access to venture capital and fast growth, the number of valuable early stage growth companies has increased significantly. Many founders, seed and early investors own stakes of considerable value in these companies. These stakes – however – cannot be monetized, as the market for minority stakes in non-listed early growth Nordic companies is in reality non-existing. Have you completed a Series-A capital raising and are looking for your next growth step? Get in touch with us at contact@n2f.vc.
