Key People
Julia Selander - CEO
I like to compete, learn new things and to change stuff for the better. I never say no to something if it seems fun or if someone tells me that it's "too difficult". I love being on stage and am the Queen of moderating events (humble, huh?). I think that creative people will save the world. I am inspired by curiosity, great leadership, and doers. I would probably spend all my awaken time reading in bathtubs if it was socially acceptable.

Lisa Johansson - CMO
I work as Chief Marketing Officer at Venture Cup Sweden, which basically means that I am in charge of how the Venture Cup brand is perceived by our target audience. Venture Cup is all about inspiring, motivating and nudging entrepreneurs towards pursuing their dreams and ideas by starting their own company. Besides creative ideas and brilliant startups, I like early morning workouts and delicious vegetarian food.
