40. Inside Stockholm's AI start-up hub: Founders House
•
We are still on the theme of entrepreneurship, and this series would not be complete without a visit to Founders House. Founders House is a hub for AI start-ups where they can co-work, create a network, get in touch with investors and build Stockholm's start-up climate. We talk to Sara and Ella, who are in the founding team at Founders House and run the every day logistics. They get in touch with many different types of founders and entrepreneurs each day and they shared their insights with us. Then, we also spoke to Jasper. She has recently started her start-up in cyber security after a career as a management consultant in New York. Now she has hired a team together with her co-founder and they have their office at Founders House. Jasper shares some of her insights into the start-up world, and her own experience going from seeing a business opportunity to finding the right co-founder.
