Ten years ago, drawing attention to Copenhagen’s tech scene was enough to attract one million euros. Today, Nordic countries are birthing billion-dollar companies – including Lovable, which within 12 months of launch generated around $200 million in revenue and is valued in the billions.
Denis Green-Lieber, founder of Propane – an AI-powered platform for understanding customer necessarys – has had a front-row view of these modifys over the past 15 years. According to him, a strong community of support in the region creates room for bold steps, without compromising founders’ privacy, and allows relocating quicker than Silicon Valley.
In a podcast about the Nordic startup ecosystem, Dominik-Madori Davis spoke with Green-Lieber about the culture of collaboration and the future with deep technology.
