How to use this list
The family offices on this list are based in Norway and invest mainly in public equities, real estate and private equity. Before reaching out, read each office's website to confirm its current focus and check whether it publishes a deal submission channel or contact form. Keep the first message short and specific: what you are raising, how much, and why it fits that office's stated focus. For offices in Norway, our files list decision-makers by name and position with company contact details (no personal emails, for GDPR reasons), so the first approach usually goes through the office's published channel, the LinkedIn company page or a warm introduction.
