Nordic founders are taking bigger swings, and it's paying off | TechCrunch
"Ten years ago, raising €1 million in Copenhagen was enough to make waves in the region's tech scene. Today, the Nordics are turning out billion-dollar companies like Lovable - which hit $200M in revenue just 12 months after launching. Dennis Green-Lieber, founder of AI-powered customer intelligence platform Propane, has had a front-row seat to that shift over the last 15 years."
