Portfolio Day 2025: Growth and Scaling Together

This week, Construct Venture gathered its entire portfolio for the annual Portfolio Day, held together with OBOS Venture – this time hosted in our new home, Construction City. Leaders and founders from across the portfolio, along with representatives from OBOS and AF Gruppen, came together to share experiences, gain inspiration, and build new relationships.

The theme of this year’s event was growth and scaling, with a particular focus on international expansion and M&A – exploring how companies can take the next step and grow beyond the Norwegian market.

“The goal of Portfolio Day is to create an arena where our companies can learn from each other. Many target the same customer segments within construction and real estate, and there’s great value in sharing insights and solutions across the portfolio,” says Sjur Magnus Ringøen, Investment Manager at Construct Venture.

Among the highlights were Andreas Thorsheim, who has led Otovo from startup to IPO, sharing honest reflections on international growth, priorities, and the complexity that comes with rapid scaling, and Eivind Bergsmyr from Viking Growth, who discussed how acquisitions can be used as a strategic tool for growth.

Over the years, Portfolio Day has become an annual arena for learning and collaboration across Construct Venture’s ecosystem — where portfolio companies, co-investors, and industry partners exchange ideas, tackle shared challenges, and build relationships that strengthen the sector as a whole.
