I am a seasoned entrepreneur in technology and advisor, investor and financier of projects, ventures and organizations with a cultural, social and environmental positive outcome. Since the mid 90’s I have been part of the Nordic and international ecosystem of start-ups and venture financing. Today I work as an advisor, entrepreneur and investor in solutions with the purpose to improve or systemically change the world to be more balanced, equal and prosperous for each and everyone. IMPACT BUSINESS & INVESTING In 2015 I founded an initiative with the aim to structure data and insights into commercial ventures with technology and other solutions for a sustainable world. Since then our team [today addressed as The One Initiative] have screened, analyzed and assessed 7,000+ start-ups on impact for investors to place their capital in relevant investments. Our work have resulted in some of the first and unique reports in the Nordic and global ecosystem of impact start-ups and investments.

Tech Investor in +25 startups, but Founder and Entrepreneur at heart. Exits to Oculus VR / Facebook & Snap Inc. My passion is the journey of a technology startup, transforming initial ideas to great products. I prefer to engage and invest in early stage technology startups, who are committed to swing for the fences. I want to help startups succeed with their mission to put a dent in the universe. My most exciting journeys was transforming PhD research on eye tracking into The Eye Tribe, a startup developing the world's leading eye tracking technology for the next generation computing platforms of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. The Eye Tribe was acquired by Facebook in Dec 2016 with the aim of integrating eye tracking technology into future Oculus VR/AR products. Since then I have been active in the startup community as an investor and advisor, where I recently served as a hands-on team member at NextMind transforming research on brain-computer interfaces into a non-invasive brain sensor. I worked closely with the founder to fund and commercialize the tech and we successfully exited to Snap Inc. in March 2022.
