Susanne Najafi is the founding partner of VC BackingMinds, that invests in founders that are normally missed by traditional VC. She has founded more than 3 companies within tech, e.g. Eleven one of Nordics largest e-retailers within beauty products. She is the advisor to several companies and on the board of listed Stockmann and Lindex. By 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Yet, the smartphone you're holding in your hand is powerful enough to guide 120 million Apollo 11 rockets to the moon. The world needs more brilliant minds to come together to create a sustainable world. In this fireside chat we meet one of the stars behind BackingMinds, the investment duo looking for opportunities beyond hypes and bubbles.
