5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting in Early-stage VC

5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting in Early-stage VC

For years, I tried to self-educate myself about VC and the startup industry. I read and studied as many books, articles, and podcasts as I could, and watched as many episodes of Silicon Valley as possible to get a glimpse into the life of a VC. I have now been with byFounders for 9+ months and I have come to the conclusion that VC is not something that can be self-taught. Here's what I've learned.

Skype’s Legacy and the Rise of the ‘New Nordics’

The focus on tech startup development across the Nordic region has intensified in recent years, thanks to a glut of global success stories.

We dig into why that is.

Our Investment in Salto X: the Platform Enabling Token Incentive Plans for Remote Companies

“The main bottleneck for European startup growth is not the lack of capital, it’s the lack of talent!” This sentence has been said by many and I’m now stating it again because it’s sadly the truth. If we are serious about wanting Europe’s tech scene to thrive (and one day be on par - or better - than the US) then we need to drastically improve our ability to attract and retain talent.

Environmental Social Governance Law Enhances Danish Tech Startup's Impact
