About Oskar Serrander

Swedish-American company builder with a passion for technology & pioneering emerging markets.Co-founded Wondercraft, the audio studio for brands & creative teams with Dimitris and Youssef to empower people to voice their ideas, in any language, just by typing. In Jan 2024, we announced our $3M seed round by Y Combinator, Will Venture, Steven Bartlett (DOAC) and Elevenlabs. Feb 1 we released the platform in the world.Audio is a central theme in my career. I joined the music revolution at Spotify early; making deals, building teams and launching new markets, including the biggest one; USA. After a stint in Silicon Valley, and doing new business development at iHeart where I discovered the opportunities in podcasting, I joined Acast to pioneer podcast tech and build a marketplace for audio storytellers. Until mid-2023, I orchestrated Acast's day-to-day business; formulating the company direction and executing the plan across 15 countries of operation with ~500 staff. In June 2021, we took Acast public on NASDAQ and after 6 years, I left to start Wondercraft to solve a big problem of in the creator industry; accessible audio production.I sometimes mentor and invest in startups to scratch my curiosity itch and when time permits. I love working with passionate entrepreneurs with fire in their bellies and a mission to do something grand. I lean on a belief that focus obsession, thoughtful design, product-led sales and solid operating structures turn visions into reality.In order to be full happy in life you need a vocation but first and foremost a loving tribe around you. I am a proud husband to an amazing soulmate, a father of two curious children, a struggling minimalist, work-in-progress meditator (zazen), humble mixed martial artist, skier, mtb:er, outdoors enthusiast, gamer, an avid movie score listener–and always happy to connect with good humans and make new friends. Bucket-fillers only.DM me here or on x.com/oskarserrander or threads.net/@oskarserrander
