1 年Nicely done Alfredo Jollon, CFA Jens Ingelstedt, and team. Happy to be involved. Good to see several demo day pitches with social impact integrated into the business case #thefutureisnow. Overall, very well run, and thought through. Enjoyed the mashup of a multinational approach here in Stockholm and look forward to seeing where it leads. Good luck to all the teams. ??
