Cimbria Philosophy

Value-Add Private Equity

We bring management expertise, industry networks, and global market expansion capabilities to our Partner Companies through our Acceleration Program and active day-to-day engagement, not just through board level participation. We aim to act as a ‘Bolt-on-Management team’ to our Partner Companies.

Water
Economy

We believe that intelligent allocation of capital into the Water Economy will yield superior returns for both investors and our society at large. The water sectors have a known investment gap triggering significant societal risk factors and allows Cimbria – as a specialist investor – opportunistic entry and value creation.

Transatlantic Market Expansion

We believe that international market expansion is one of the most powerful ways to boost profitability and growth for visionary companies. We aim to unlock significant value by helping companies based in North America and the Nordics expand across the Atlantic.

ESG & Profitable Impact

We offer a sophisticated ESG approach to risk mitigation and fiduciary responsibility built to enhance the long-term value to our investors. We leverage a distinct internal ESG program and pre-investment screening process balancing emphasis on financial and non-financial performance – thoughtfully developed through our acquisition of ESG-specialist firm Madeira Global.

Letter From The Founder

Cimbria has since its inception set out to invest in and benefit from small and growing private companies profiting from the daunting challenges underway in the Water Economy. Our value proposition and investment products provide accredited investors with an alternative to public markets and to larger but less specialized private equity firms exposed to more traditional sectors. In other words, Cimbria Capital provides a unique and next-generation investment alternative, and it offers its investors access to ESG, sustainability, and resiliency mandates.

Cimbria corporate culture has been created based on value-creation-centric foundation evidenced via our Acceleration program and via the skillsets and experiences included on our investment and advisory team. – A team comprised by individuals with a diverse set of business skills in management, operations, finance, accounting, research, policy, technology, and marketing, and a team that has been handpicked for its ability to risk assess, invest, and value-add in the transforming Water Economy.

Via our culture, investment thesis, and overall value proposition, we offer the following to all of our investors and investment partners:

(a) Economic Returns – Become a beneficiary of the profits associated with small and growing companies with an ability and willingness to drive and benefit from local, regional, and global change.

(b) Hands-on Value Creation – Become a beneficiary and investment partner of a growing team and network of operational investment and management professionals.

(c) Positive Global Impact – Become a participant in the Water Economy – one of the most important and most valuable industries in the world.

(d) Knowledge and Insights – In the capacity as an investment partner, you will receive access to Cimbria investment process, investment team, and our networks.

(e) Collaboration – In the capacity as trusted investor, you will have a forum for further and future collaboration related to the Water Economy. Specifically, Cimbria and its team will be available as a sparring partner for your future strategic endeavors related to the Water Economy.

Our pledge to new investment partners is similar to the pledge and value proposition offered to all of our existing partners and investors. We will dedicate ourselves to diligent investing and investment management with the purpose of creating value and profits in a rapidly changing world – a world where resource efficiency, environment, globalization, and consumer awareness are key drivers, and where water increasingly has become an international priority.

We live in a time of a historic transfer of wealth – to those able and willing to change – and away from those unwilling and unable to do so. Smaller and mid-sized private companies with next-level executives and disciplined investors will be the beneficiaries of transformations already well underway. Cimbria was founded on this opportunity, and our firm has since its beginning been created with the purpose of benefitting financially via hands-on investing in a changing world.

We hope that you will consider a business relationship with Cimbria. We are excited about the prospect of working with you.

Sincerely,

Brian V. Iversen

Our Name & History

As Danish immigrants to United States, Cimbria’s founders – Brian V. Iversen  and Henrik Fogh Rasmussen – saw it as natural to establish a name with origin in the Nordics. Our firm was therefore named after an ancient Danish tribe, the Cimbri.

The Cimbrian Bull (Danish: Cimbrertyren) is a symbol of the Cimbri tribe. The Cimbria peoples worshipped the bull as a god of strength. The specific image used as the logo of Cimbria Capital is a rendering of a bronze sculpture of the Cimbrian Bull located in the city of Aalborg. Aalborg is located in the northern part of Jutland, the western portion of Denmark and allegedly the ancient home of the Cimbri peoples.

Our wholly owned consultancy arm Cimbria Consulting – a global management, scientific, and technical consulting firm offering pragmatic tools to capture economic value for small-to-medium enterprises in agriculture, renewable energy, and water.

Cimbria Consulting has also adopted a portion of the Cimbrian Bull symbol, the charging head and horns– signifying the brain, knowledge, and intelligence of the powerful animal.
