CoFounder and Board Member

Raised $140m in Funding | 2 exits | Serial Entrepreneur for 21 years | I love to identify and work on worthy problems with brilliant people | Dad to 2 Kids

👋 I’ve started and funded many businesses over the last 22 years and I find that I love doing this. 😀

The energy, enthusiasm, challenges, pitches, Funding, and the ups and downs, working on taking risks down, creating value, verifying the hypothesis as fast as possible, and building great teams with « people that want to do things. » 

I love learning new things, especially about technologies and innovations. Often seeking answers to good business problems solve: « Love the problem, not the solution! »

Most of the time, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with excellent people. People I admire and that I can learn from. People that are much smarter than me. People with integrity. (Yes, learning also the hard way with some exceptions of some rotten apples....🙈)

I’ve worked with world-class VC investors like NorthZone Ventures for 8 years after I founded Innotech Solar AS in 2008. For Innotech Solar alone, the funding was: €52M in equity, €25M in debt, and €13M in grants. 8 years of top management experience growing the company from my idea to 180 employees and €35M revenue 3 years after launch. It was an exciting journey and a hard battle! I learned a lot! 😀

These are the companies I am involved with at the moment:

Founder of LazeraH - producing energy with anti-matter (Einstein´s E=mc^2 converting mass to clean energy)
Founder and CFO of Nanize AS - the most slippery material in the world (kind of like Teflon - just much better)
Cofounder and Chairman of Drive365 – IT platform for modern work for 50-3,000 employee companies
Cofounder of Havguard - AI-powered disruptive underwater communications
CoFounder of Shama AI - AI-powered real-time detection of deep fake voice

I post typically weekly for insights from my startup journey and the real behind-the-scenes of starting up these companies.

I really look forward to engaging with interested founders, and investors, and exciting the people in my network.
