"Gabriel Vasquez, a partner at Andreessen Horowitz, recently revealed he took nine flights from NYC to Stockholm in one year. That wasn't just to visit Lovable, a portfolio company, but also to look for other future Swedish unicorns before they cross the Atlantic. This all came to light when news emerged that a16z had led a $2.3 million pre-seed round into Dentio, a Swedish startup that uses AI to help dentists' practices with admin work."
"Like fintech giant Klarna, legal AI startup Legora, and e-scooter company Voi, Dentio is an alum of SSE Labs - a startup incubator that has produced several successful Swedish companies. The three former high school classmates Elias Afrasiabi, Anton Li and Lukas Sjögren joined the incubator after reconnecting as students at both the SSE (Stockholm School of Economics) and KTH (Royal Institute of Technology),"
Gabriel Vasquez made nine round trips from New York City to Stockholm in a year to source Swedish startups. Andreessen Horowitz led a $2.3 million pre-seed into Dentio, a company that uses AI and LLMs to reduce administrative work in dental practices. The investment was a small check relative to newly announced $15 billion in funds but signals U.S. VC interest in international deal flow without local offices. Stockholm is highlighted for strong startup output, with SSE Labs producing companies like Klarna, Legora and Voi. Dentio's founders are former classmates who pursued the incubator route after reconnecting at SSE and KTH.
