In this episode of Connect to Tech, Luke Campbell speaks with Per Björklund, co-founder of Further Than Capital, about what investors look for in early-stage technology companies.
Per shares his journey from engineering and entrepreneurship into venture capital and angel investing. He explains why the founding team matters more than the original idea, the importance of customer validation and domain knowledge, and the common mistakes founders make when approaching investors.
They also discuss the future of AI, deep tech, healthcare and hardware, as well as the skills young professionals should develop to build long-term careers in technology.
