A take on the hot air that exists in the market right now

Topics such as the metaverse, anti-woke/ESG funds and the digitisation of everything post-Covid. Our CEO, Daniel Hansen, was recently in conversation with…

Why the people behind the numbers are more important

Daniel Hansen discusses the importance of the entrepreneurial spirit behind the companies OMNIA invests in. I really do believe that doing business successfully comes down to one thing – and I’m not talking about money. It’s all about people, how they lead and the relationships they build. Over the years I’ve come to the conclusion that the driving force behind any successful business is the people in it, rather than…

Many prospective investors – particularly younger ones, including so-called ‘millennials’ – are keen to understand more about how their money…

Straight talking networking for success

I’ll admit it: I only know one way to do business – to take the personal approach. I’ve always talked about how I think the only way to be truly successful is to deal with people, not companies, and that still stands. It’s a way of working that has led me into a huge number of fascinating business relationships – some fruitful, some not so, but all have been a…
