  Ekbo

  Mar 2017 - May 2018

  Co-Founder

  Fin-tech startup trying to do some good. We wanted to help young first-time home buyers into the property market - independent of the size of their parents' wallets. We developed a good business case for it, got investors with investments, and people wanted to pay for our product. In the end we couldn't get our business model to fit with the property laws. At least we tried, and it was a fun run. Now happy to see that Obos and others are doing similar things - this is important to ensure an open property market for everyone. Show less
