- STRGY AI — The strategy was never the problem. The evidence was correct, sitting in someone's hands, and it died anyway because nothing in the organization was built to carry that evidence from where it was seen to where it could be acted on, and keep it alive long enough to matter. Not a bad plan. Not bad people. A structural gap between signal andauthority that every existing tool — decks, dashboards, status meetings — is too static and too easy to ignore to actually close.STRGY exists because that gap is the default state of every organization above a certain size, and closing it has always required either a heroic individual repeating themselves for years or luck (the corporate pilot needed one person to remember "do not drop this" at the right moment, and no one did). That's not a strategy problem to solve with a better framework — it's an infrastructure problem. You need something that holds the signal, doesn't forget it, doesn't get bored repeating it, and resurfaces it automatically the moment the gap between evidence and action starts to widen. That's what a human can't do reliably at scale, and what software with real memory can.
- Coolbrook — Our RotoDynamic electric technology can cut 30% of industrial emissions annually, delivering hope at industrial scale.
- Solar Foods — Solar Foods is a food-tech startup that specializes in testing a technology that uses electricity to produce hydrogen which is combined with carbon dioxide, water, vitamins, and minerals to feed and grow microbial biomass that can be used as edible protein.

Solein is created using elements from the air—CO2, water, nitrogen—and electricity. This single-cell protein is cultivated through gas fermentation, essentially deriving edible calories from hydrogen-oxidizing microbes.

Lars Fjeldsoe-Nielsen grew up across Africa, from Angola and Guinea-Bissau to Tanzania and Libya, after his family fled the Angolan Civil War as refugees. Those early experiences instilled in him a belief that education, technology, and social innovation can transform lives and continue to anchor his career and philanthropic activities to this day.Today, Lars is a General Partner at Owl Ventures ($2.2 billion AUM), the world’s leading venture capital firm focused exclusively on education technology. He leads Owl’s expansion across Europe, Africa, and global markets, backing founders who harness AI and breakthrough technologies to make learning more accessible and impactful.Before joining Owl, Lars co-founded 2xN, an early-stage fund at the frontier of deeptech and quantum innovation, with standout investments including Quantinuum (valued above $10 billion), Oxford Ionics (acquired by IonQ in a $1 billion deal), QSimulate, and Sparrow Quantum. Prior to that, he was a General Partner at Balderton Capital in London during which time the firm led the Seed and Series A rounds in Revolut. His investments also span education (Labster, uLesson, StudySmarter, Kukua), mobility (Yassir, Voi, Monta, NoTraffic), and mobile and frontier tech (Hiya, Monarch Money, Rahko, Pocket, Colossal, Celus, Octant Bio, Vivino, OpenSea, Blue Bottle Coffee).Lars previously spent a decade in Silicon Valley, shaping some of tech’s most iconic growth stories. At Uber, he joined when it operated in fewer than 20 cities and, as Vice President, forged global alliances with Verizon and América Móvil that fueled its international expansion. Before Uber, as Head of Mobile at Dropbox, he was among the first 25 employees and helped the company reach its first 100 million users through partnerships with Samsung and other OEMs.Despite his career in technology and venture capital, Africa has never left Lars’s journey. After his father’s passing, he returned to Angola to trace his family’s history, discovering that his sister had died of malaria as a child. That revelation transformed a personal loss into a mission. A technologist turned humanitarian innovator, Lars filed a patent for genetically modified mosquitoes that light up when carrying malaria and began funding malaria-research projects in Angola through partnerships with global nonprofits. In 2024, he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for malaria research, following earlier campaigns such as climbing the Matterhorn and crossing the Sahara by motorbike.A Danish-Portuguese national who served with the Royal Danish Guards, Lars holds an MBA from London Business School, where he was a member of the Board of Governors and Chairman of the Endowment Fund, an MSc from Oxford University (Keble College), and a BSc from King’s College London. Across every chapter, from refugee to technologist to investor, his purpose endures: advancing education, health, and innovation as catalysts for social change.

- STRGY AI — The strategy was never the problem. The evidence was correct, sitting in someone's hands, and it died anyway because nothing in the organization was built to carry that evidence from where it was seen to where it could be acted on, and keep it alive long enough to matter. Not a bad plan. Not bad people. A structural gap between signal andauthority that every existing tool — decks, dashboards, status meetings — is too static and too easy to ignore to actually close.STRGY exists because that gap is the default state of every organization above a certain size, and closing it has always required either a heroic individual repeating themselves for years or luck (the corporate pilot needed one person to remember "do not drop this" at the right moment, and no one did). That's not a strategy problem to solve with a better framework — it's an infrastructure problem. You need something that holds the signal, doesn't forget it, doesn't get bored repeating it, and resurfaces it automatically the moment the gap between evidence and action starts to widen. That's what a human can't do reliably at scale, and what software with real memory can.
