📍 How to spot a high-potential founder Over the last several years, we’ve invested in 10+ founders every year to join our Venture Studio, to lead the build of one of our new venture concepts.

In our latest article, Raluca Ciobancan and Sara Foster from our Global Talent team share seven traits that they believe make successful founder investments—from high risk appetite through to a knack for finding shortcuts. Also featured are a number of founders who display these traits, including Louise Croft (Ogma), David Tejs Jørring (HealthKey), and Svilen & Konstantin R.
