Eric Lagier shares his perspective on stage following byFounders’ recognition as Emerging Manager of the Year 2025 at the EUVC Summit & Awards Show 2026.
The award recognises a rising fund manager across financial performance, firm building, impact, diversity, transparency and fairness.
Eric is a Founding Partner at byFounders with more than 20 years of operational experience across Silicon Valley and Scandinavia.
He was part of the early teams at Skype and Tradeshift and co-founded Memolane, which was acquired by HP. byFounders’ investments include Lovable.
In the discussion, Eric explains why capital is increasingly a commodity, how byFounders’ founder network supports sourcing and company building, and why the firm prioritises long-term relationships over simply joining a fundraising process.
He also reflects on Lovable, conviction at seed and why the Nordics need to think bigger.
