Proud to be a Swedish Entrepreneur

Case in point: iZettle.

Never did I think that the seminal, awesome and cool-adam-lisagor-video-promoted Square app, with serious funding and that visionary Twitter co-founder as CEO, would be taken on—and bettered—by a bootstrapped startup from Stockholm.

Other cases in point: Spotify, Skype, and one or two of my own (coming soon…).

This feels again like in Sweden in the run-up to the 2000 tech bubble, only the ideas are better and the money sloshing around are not nearly that insane. The result: lean, focused, innovative companies.

Big Money VC's be gone. Hello focused, driven, inspirational and dedicated Super Angels and incubators.
