Capital, time and hands-on expertise for ventures in travel, hospitality and related sectors
Nordic Travel Services makes selective early-stage investments in travel, hospitality and adjacent sectors — bringing both capital and real personal involvement, backed by three decades of hands-on industry experience and an established Nordic network.
More than an investor — an operator who has been there
Founding and scaling a travel or hospitality business is a different challenge from most sectors. Distribution is fragmented, margins are thin, seasonality is punishing and the technology landscape changes constantly. Generic capital and generic advice rarely move the needle.
Nordic Travel Services brings specific operational knowledge alongside capital — and, crucially, personal time. We go into projects as active participants: the same hands that built and led businesses in this sector will be involved in yours.
Other investors and co-founders who want to participate in ventures in travel, hospitality and related sectors are also welcome to reach out. We are open to collaboration where there is strong fit.
Early-stage capital
Selective investment in travel, hospitality and related ventures at the early stage — where the right support matters most and where industry insight can make the difference between a promising idea and a working business.
Time and involvement
Capital is only part of what we bring. We commit personal time to the ventures we back — working alongside founders on commercial strategy, distribution, supplier negotiations and operational decisions. Not a board seat and a quarterly call, but real engagement when it counts.
Industry network
Direct connections with OTAs, bedbanks, tour operators, hotels, ski destinations and technology providers across Norway, Sweden and international markets — built over decades and available to portfolio companies.
Distribution & OTA strategy
Knowing how to get a product in front of the right buyers — on the platforms where bookings actually happen — is one of the highest-value skills in travel. We can help portfolio companies set up distribution from day one, avoiding the costly mistakes most founders make trying to learn this from scratch.

Revenue management, dynamic pricing and margin structure are often where early-stage hospitality businesses are most vulnerable. We bring direct experience from running large operations and can help founders build a commercial model that actually scales.

We invest in early-stage ventures in travel, hospitality and related sectors — accommodation, tourism, leisure, outdoor experiences, vacation rentals, technology for the hospitality industry and more. We prefer ventures with a connection to the Nordic market, though interesting opportunities elsewhere are considered. Ticket size is flexible; fit and personal engagement potential matter more than stage.
Other investors and co-founders who want to participate alongside us in ventures in these sectors are also welcome to get in touch — we are open to collaboration where the fit is right.
