Therefore it may appear quite contradictory to launch a personal website which, regardless of perspective, revolves and turns around one self. But my aim with this website is to branch out beyondmy usual activities, while simultaneously using the site as a digital connection to my businesses within the Thornico Group (www.Thornico.com). Within this company we are involved in shipping, technology, the food industry, real estate, fashion and sports. All the mentioned companies share the core values of Company karma. This site should give an insight into what inspirations that lies behind the value based approach and the way we overall do business in the Thornico group. Hopefully, the website also provides a needlepoint into what has shaped and formed my other more private lifestyle choicesIn addition to this, the site will function as a distribution network in terms of information and news in regards to my books, when and where I give lectures and talks. I will share content, interests, personal thoughts and sources of inspiration here. ## VF Venture - Type: VC Fund - Relevant deals: 1 - Stages: Seed, Series A - Focus: Software, SaaS, Biotechnology Vaekstfonden makes equity investments in Danish companies with a track record as well as in young entrepreneurial, innovative enterprises with an ambition for global growth. ## Seier Capital - Type: VC Fund - Location: Berne, Bern, Switzerland - Relevant deals: 1 - Stages: Pre-Seed, Seed - Focus: Internet, Blockchain, Trading Platform Seier Capital is a private investment fund owned 100% by Lars Seier Christensen. ## New Theory Ventures - Type: VC Fund - Relevant deals: 1 - Stages: Seed, Series B - Focus: EdTech, Finance, Women's New Theory is a private venture fund that invests, incubates, and accelerates trailblazing female-led brands ## Morten Strunge - Type: Angel - Location: Copenhagen, Hovedstaden, Denmark - Relevant deals: 1 - Stages: Seed, Pre-Seed - Focus: Fashion, E-Commerce, Beauty Morten Strunge is the current Co-Founder of Nexta.io.
