A decade ago, securing €1 million in Copenhagen was enough to make a significant impact on the local tech community. Now, the Nordic region is producing unicorns at a rapid pace, such as Lovable — which reached $200 million in revenue within a year of its debut.
Dennis Green-Lieber, who founded the AI-driven customer intelligence company Propane, has witnessed this transformation firsthand over the past 15 years. In his view, the strong social safety net in the region allows entrepreneurs to take bold risks without jeopardizing their personal well-being, enabling them to outpace even Silicon Valley.
On today’s episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Dominic-Madori Davis spoke with Green-Lieber about the Nordic startup landscape, exploring everything from its spirit of collaboration to its ambitions in deep tech.
