0) As I have always found these things interesting (and recently inspired by @lennysan), I thought I’d share some top level reflections & numbers from my latest LP update, and to lift the curtain on what it’s been like being an Angel investor in the last few years in the Nordics:

@FredrikHjelm4 What I always found weird is that these type of articles are in startup focused medias, yet they don’t understand how (most) startups work.

@pmoe My perspective: The best founders simply _have_ to start something, they don’t look to start something. & those that _have_ to start something wouldn’t let the macro stop them doing so/perhaps wouldn’t even consider it.

@MagnusHambleton Our “bet” (pun intended 😅) was the next generation of sports fans would care more about social and gamification while engaging with live sports than betting $10 to win $20. I still maintain (and hope) the gambling industry is one of the biggest still to face true innovation.

Totally relate to this. I actively tried for 6 months _not_ to start my company before I gave in to the pull.
