As if I didn't have much to do, I partnered up with two gentlemen whom I met along the way since I returned from Dubai and started what we classified as a venture builder. We quickly built cool start-ups within the +NXT umbrella with innovative business models based on the latest trends in technology servicing both consumers and operating businesses across various markets. We were successful in raising capital in order to fund our various projects. We successfully created numerous platforms within; social media, e-commerce, a share-economy platform for goods delivery. The faith of the co. was ended due to difference of aspirations between the partners. We parted as friends and sold the remainder of the co.'s assets. Oh btw, in between developing this business we took upon a distribution agreement from a US based tech-start-up, which you can see below.

After my previous venture I decided to pursure my 3rd and final academic degree and mark all the t's and i's once and for all. While studying at Lund Uni. I got the opportunity to work at a bank (can't reveal the name of the bank as it became the case study for my Master Thesis), where I acted as internal business develop consultant and got around all the nooks and corners of the organization. I was responsible for the process and output of a highly important business development project, including trend analysis, internal processes analysis, core competencies analysis, consumer interviews, and digital strategies which essentially made an impact on decisions regarding furture developments.

Upon returning from Dubai and once again starting over, I reached out to some contacts I had made during my time in Dubai, and whilst I was involved in a high-tech start-up in Copenhagen (and also not being able to get a job) I decided to exploit the resources I had at hand and starting brokering deals across eastern europe and Middle East/South East Asia. BALIDA (an acronym of my parents and brothers name) was an international procurement and trading co. with global partners in Europe and Asia. The core focus was Trading and procurement of steel, precious metals, industrial waste, food wastage, crude oil, coal and food commodities. I would Identify trade opportunities, build relationships, negotiated trade agreements and deal-structuring and managed to negotiate and close a deal worth +$500.000USD. Unfortunately due to the nature of this business when new contracts were about to get re-negotiated, my at that time clients decided to work with bigger companies and so. That was the end of that. Wealth of experience and far past my own comfort zone.

Fueled with drive and passion (and robbed from rational reasoning) I chose to start my own business. Didn't really think about what, but a friend suggested clothing and I added food and other industrial products through my contacts which I acquired from my stay in Dubai. We started what was called Free Factory and started importing various goods and sold across Europe. Of course it was at the peak of the global meltdown, so due to variable MoM sales I had to go back to my job at Dagbladet Børsen to make ends meet. It lasted for a year before I decided to further academic career and then moved to Edinburgh, Scotland in pursure of my second degree.

When I started studying at Niels Brock I went to my favourite gas station at the airport to get myself a chocolate milk. Whilst walking out the door I saw a flyer which said:"Hiring"​, I immediately applied got the job and weeks later found myself during a coffee reading the Danish financial newspaper from the paper rack and noticed that the newspaper itself was looking for part time telemarketers. Again I immediately applied, got the job and found myself exposed to the world of finance (not that my job had to do with anything else other than selling subscriptions, which I was successful at) but the environment, the fact that we got the paper for free and evident interest since childhood did so. Final farewell (with one see ya later between January-May 2008 due to the internship) came in July 2009. See my next professional position and read why.
