As a proud European, I've spent years building businesses and communities across the continent. Now, I'm on a mission to keep our best space and defence founders in Europe | 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸 '𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲' 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄👇 First, let me give you some context. At 14, I launched my first company, learning early that age is just a number. By 18, I got into venture, gaining invaluable experience in company building and growth strategies. I founded, sold and advised multiple companies over multiple verticals, focusing on creative, commercialisation and Go-To-Market before stepping back once they gained momentum eg. Valuebeat (sold), Reevela (seed), Questionbase (seed). My true passion, however, always lied in building communities by connecting the right people.In my mid-20s, I reconnected with a passion I’d had for years: space. I went on to help to create Norway’s first commercial space agency, focusing on establishing its operations and fundraising. That’s when I noticed something was missing: private funding and support for the European space startup ecosystem.Fast forward to 2024; driven by a desire to bridge the funding gap, alongside my colleagues from various backgrounds, we put the right foundations towards launching Final Frontier, a Scandinavian VC fund that aims to foster the boldest European space and defence startups.𝗔𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱: 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲'𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗯𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗦? I believe the answer lies in unlocking the true potential of European innovation – by harnessing our strengths in revolutionary research and compensating for our weaknesses in commercialisation and fragmentation.My contribution starts with launching a podcast, guides, and industry insights to support early-stage European space and defence founders on their journey to Series A – providing them with the knowledge, connections, and expertise needed to scale and succeed.Unlock industry insights I published so far at: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘁.𝗰𝗼𝗺Learn more about the fund at: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿.𝘃𝗰P.S.
