Founders are exceptional people.
They are prepared to bet years of their life to make something they are passionate about come alive. I love learning from Founders. Sometimes, when I meet someone really special, I invest. I invest if I think I can add value and make money.
Lovable
I invested in Lovable because Anton Osika is the right kind of crazy. He is bold and pushes for a more aggressive, ambitious mindset in Europe. Anton and co-founder Fabian have what it takes to build something huge. Building "the last piece of software" is a great mission.Link
Nyctea
I invested in Nyctea because I've been consistently impressed by founder and CEO Dr. Gustav Ferrand-Drake. Nyctea is on a mission to create affordable medicine by reducing the cost of production. Through his research, Gustav has invented a new method of biopharmaceutical purification.Link
Intui
I invested in Intui because I was intrigued by its mission to reinvent the way machine learning works. It's a bold and crazy ambition. Dr. Henrik Jörntell has spent his career understanding the neural basis of sensorimotor control. His conclusion is that modern machine learning is based on a long-since outdated understanding of the brain.Link
Motorica
I invested in Motorica because I think the best way to build value using machine learning is to create a unique dataset. Motorica's vision of "motion without capture" is a great example of this. Their dataset of human motion is unique and allows for very low-cost generation of human motion.Link
Normain
I invested in Normain because I'm very impressed by Sara and Dennis Landfors. They have the experience, determination, and judgement to build a great company. AI is perfect for offloading boring work like compliance, auditing, due diligence, and sustainability. Normain aims to take AI from perfect in theory to perfect in practice.Link
Redpine
I've spent most of my career obsessing about data. Access to high-quality data is one of the best ways to improve performance. It turns out that only a small fraction of the world's data is openly available, which leaves AI agents grounded in generic insights. Redpine provides a "grounding API" that connects models to licensed, non-public data — scientific, legal, financial and other proprietary sources — while handling compliance, licensing and provenance. I'm excited to back founders Anders Hammarbäck and David Österdahl in their effort to solve one of the real bottlenecks to trustworthy AI: hallucinations caused by missing data.Link
Incredible
Founder Philip Alm is curious, hard-working and fast-moving, and has been experimenting with AI solutions since before most. I decided to back him and the team because they are relentlessly exploring ways to improve the usability of AI. I think "vibe computing", i.e. controlling your computer using voice, has the potential to be a huge unlock for productivity.Link
Minute
Ludvig Bartholdsson is a crazy guy. He has been building stuff his whole life, and refuses to settle. One of the things I love about him is that he decided to take on telecom as his domain. That's unusual, but it's a huge market with slow incumbents. I'm excited to see where his journey takes him.Link
120ft Factory
I grew up as a robotics nerd. When I came across Martin Willers and his vision to build autonomous micro-factories, I couldn't resist backing him. He envisions container-sized production lines run by physical AI and robotics, making local, on-demand manufacturing possible. It's an ambitious bet, and I'm excited to see how it plays out.Link
Inception Fund
Oliver and I go way back. We met when he was at Peltarion, and we had just started Kognic. Since then, I've seen him grow into an extremely well-connected and thoughtful investor. I decided to join Inception Fund as a Venture Partner and LP because I wanted exposure to the very best technical AI founders in the Nordics. Inception is a fast-moving micro-fund that writes small first checks into inception and pre-seed AI and deeptech companies across Sweden, Finland, Estonia and beyond. Backing a great early-stage fund is a good way to place many uncorrelated bets alongside someone who sees far more young AI teams than I ever could on my own.Link
Off Piste Fund
I decided to back Max Samuel and Off Piste Fund I because I'm drawn to his sharp, independent analysis. We invested together in Intui, and spent time on their board together. Max has a fascinating background, spending close to a decade working next to Peter Thiel at Thiel Capital. He was a GP at SNÖ Ventures before setting out as a solo GP. I always enjoy discussing things with Max!Link
