Antler’s Magnus Grimeland: When to Start a Startup

Modified: Oct. 8 2025 Streaming

Few people are better positioned to recognize the traits and patterns that define successful entrepreneurs and startups. From being a classmate of Mark Zuckerberg to becoming the force behind two global unicorn companies, Magnus has seen it all when it comes to founder journeys.

We are thrilled to host Magnus Grimeland, the founder and CEO of Antler - the world’s most active early-stage investor - for a digital morning seminar where we will explore questions such as:

  • What drives a successful technical founder?
  • Are there any typical optimal personal traits to succeed?
  • When should someone with a technical background "make the jump" and give it a go?
  • Is there a specific place, age, market, trend, or something else that can increase the chances of succeeding?
  • How does his own technical background helped, or stood in the way of achieving success?
