Today, we're happy to welcome you to Bjarke Klinge Staun, a founder turned VC turned angel. Bjarke co-founded an algorithmic trading company before startups were cool, then worked at Creandum where he invested in Pleo, Bolt and Trade Republic. For the past 3 years he has been an active angel investor with a portfolio of 30 companies in fintech and SaaS across Europe.

What you'll learn:

- Bjarke's reflections and learnings from going from founder to VC to angel

- The story behind Trade Republic, why Bjarke's investment was so contrarian and how a non-hot, non-typical deal turned out to be one of Europe's big hallmark VC successes

- Reflections on deciding between being geo-focused vs more broad

- How Bjarke thinks about managing and growing his angel portfolio beyond 30 companies

- The importance of relationship & expectation management in venture investing
