In the last episode, we explored Hampus' journey from mandatory military service to university, where they started their company with the sole goal of not working for a big corporate entity. Throughout this time, he experienced a lot of paradigm shifts, learning that not only can he solve problems he thought he wouldn't be able to, but also being able to define the problem, to begin with, even when there are plenty of more experienced people around him. These paradigm shifts continued after selling their company to BlackBerry, something that put him on the path of eventually starting the early stageClimate Fund, pale blue dot.

The climate crisis is one of the most urgent challenges we face today. And while there are many different things one can do as an individual, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer scale of it. Hampus, like many of us, felt that way when he was working as a venture capitalist after selling his company to BlackBerry. But instead of letting it paralyze him, he turned his concern into action. He decided to focus his life on combating climate change by starting his own climate tech fund.

During this interview, you'll very quickly notice two things about Hampus. Firstly, he is highly energetic, which leads to him interviewing himself as I tend to be more introverted. Secondly, Hampus is deeply curious about anything he comes across, which motivates and drives him and starts during mandatory Swedish military service.

In this second part of Deep Tech Stories, we dive into the founding story of Cerebriu and how Robert Lauritzen and his co-founders struggled with CoViD and GDPR, making it nearly impossible to get their software past hospital management and into scanners.

So it is 2018 and Robert and his co-founders just came together to form Cerebriu with 6 months of runway. Over the last years of his career Robert learned how to manage hundreds of people spread across the globe and eventually become self-employed as a consultant. When starting Cerebriu he had to put that knowledge into action, come up with a MVP and increase their runway quickly.
