Ten years ago, raising one million euros in Copenhagen was enough to make waves in the region’s tech scene. Today, the Nordics are producing billion-dollar companies like Lovable, which reached two hundred million dollars in revenue just twelve months after launching.
Dennis Green-Lieber, founder of the AI-powered customer intelligence platform Propane, has had a front-row seat to that shift over the last fifteen years. His perspective is that the region’s social safety net gives founders room to take real risks without putting their personal lives on the line. He believes they are accelerating faster than Silicon Valley as a result.
Today on TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Dominic-Madori Davis spoke with Green-Lieber about the Nordic startup ecosystem, from its collaborative culture to its deep tech future.
