When the next step
deserves a closer look.
Sound decisions begin by separating what you want, what the business needs and which options are genuinely available.

Clarify capital needs, priorities and commercial assumptions before discussions with financing partners or a potential co-owner.

About Olav
Ownership is about
more than a transaction.
Olav Henrik Trent
I am Olav Henrik Trent, founder and CEO of Valhalla Capital. My work covers strategy, investment assessment, capital formation and relationships with owners and investors.
Through TRENT X, I aim to make the first conversation about an important ownership decision more straightforward. Your situation is the starting point, not a ready-made solution expected to fit everyone.
My work
- Strategy and business development
- Owner dialogue and investor relations
- Negotiations and commercial structure
From question to next step
A conversation with
a clear purpose.
The situation
What do you want to achieve, and what stands in the way? We start with the company, the ownership and the time horizon.
The options
Which choices are available, what do they require, and what could go wrong? We distinguish assumptions from matters that need investigation.
The way forward
If further work is relevant, scope, contracting party and terms are agreed in writing before an engagement begins.
