This week on the podcast I'm excited to be joined by Hampus Jakobsson, his career to discover climate-tech has been a wild ride so far and he has a great knack for story-telling, so I'm sure you're going to enjoy this one. Hampus is based in Sweden, and he started out as an entrepreneur, bouncing from Sony-Ericsson to Blackberry, building software in the early days of mobile phones, and as he grew to appreciate the incredible power of capital to make big changes in the world, he was slowly drawn to investing. He resisted opportunities to switch to VC for a long time, but eventually he shifted his views, and he ended up working with some of Europe's most progressive VCs, but in 2019, when he suggested they explore climate-tech investing, they shook their heads, despite having invested in a swag of wildly innovative startups, they couldn't get their heads around the idea of investing in climate. Since then, things have changed dramatically, and climate-tech has emerged as one of the fastest growing themes in early-stage investing. Hampus Jakobsson went on to launch his own VC fund, it's called Pale Blue Dot, and has so far invested in some 40 startups, across a range of themes and business models. In this episode Hampus is really generous with his stories and his insights. He explains his methodology and process for identifying those outlier founders that have, not only an audacious business idea to change the world, but also, the tenacity and grit to push past the obstacles and execute on it. Hampus has had a dizzying career so far, but after listening to this one, I'm sure you'll agree that he's just getting started. He has energy, and a sharp intellect and a passion for climate solutions that's infectious. So with that said, let's get to the episode. You can find all the show notes and links on the website at Johntreadgold.com. Enjoy the show!

Did you know the secret to venture success isn't just in groundbreaking ideas? It's in the people behind them. Learn how empathy and grit fuel extraordinary success in this insightful episode. Many investors fail by only chasing ideas. Discover why focusing on the right founders can unlock revolutionary outcomes. Join us as Hampus Jakobsson reveals how empathy and grit are the true drivers of innovation and success.

Hello and welcome to the Tech and Trees podcast. My name is Pascal Mies and today I am starting a new season of Tech and Trees. After leaving Africa I took a little pause to reflect on what I wanted to do next and what I wanted to learn about. However, in the end everything will still be about the questions of how do we build better ClimateTech and how do build more of it faster. The focus is now shifting back to European ClimateTech. I will try and put a stronger focus on DeepTech as well as hands-on-learnings for operators while keeping a balance with the higher level investor interviews. This first interview is with one of the OGs in European ClimateTech: Hampus Jakobson, General Partner and co-founder of the ClimateTech VC Pale Blue Dot. Our conversation spans Hampus' evening routine, Larry Fink's overestimation of the ClimateTech opportunity as well as malpractices in the ClimateTech sector. After our call, Hampus apologized for being impossible to steer in a conversation. I think having a creative spirit like him on the pod is simply a guarantee for inspiring content. So sit back and enjoy listening to Hampus Jakobson. Check out Pale Blue Dot: https://paleblue.vc Reach out to me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-mies/

Today we have Hampus Jakobsson, founding GP of Pale Blue Dot with us for a very special episode dedicated wholly to raising a fund virtually. It came about because Hampus casually mentioned that he hadn't traveled a single mile in the raise of Fund 2, which of course had us thinking: "Wow, we need to share this story! So strap in!"Hampus is a GP at Pale Blue Dot, an early stage venture fund in Sweden to back European Climate Tech companies. PBD are investing out of Fund 2 with a total 200M$ AUM and an established portfolio of 32 companies and notable investments including Monta, Patch, OverStory, ClimateX and Opna.Prior to co-founding Pale Blue Dot, Hampus was a Venture Partner at science fund Blue Yard and a prolific angel investor with more than 100 angel investments. He is a software engineer turned founder, turned angel investor, turned VC. When not working with ambitious climate people Hampus cooks, reads and thinks.We've had Hampus on before (episode #115

In the last episode, we explored Hampus' journey from mandatory military service to university, where they started their company with the sole goal of not working for a big corporate entity. Throughout this time, he experienced a lot of paradigm shifts, learning that not only can he solve problems he thought he wouldn't be able to, but also being able to define the problem, to begin with, even when there are plenty of more experienced people around him. These paradigm shifts continued after selling their company to BlackBerry, something that put him on the path of eventually starting the early stageClimate Fund, pale blue dot.Hampus Twitter: https://twitter.com/hajakPale Blue Dot: https://paleblue.vc/The Drop: https://www.thedropconf.com/TechBBQ: https://techbbq.dk/If you enjoyed this episode, why not recommend it to a friend?Homepage: https://www.deeptechstories.ioPodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/deeptechpodMy Twitter: https://twitter.com/sturmerphLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/deeptechstories Music by Nathaniel Drew x Tom Fox:https://www.nathanieldrew.com/https://tfbeats.com/Design by Amadeus Schwed:https://elementsofpuremotion.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Hampus Jakobsson co-founded the company at the age of 21 with his university friends and sold it eight years later for $150 million to Blackberry. Over coffee. While usually a 9-figure exit takes more than a year to complete, this acquisition took place in less than six weeks. Why? Because Hampus and his co-founders spent those eight years building the perfect product for the market, making it irresistible for Blackberry, and in turn securing an offer the team couldn't say no to.

We all wish we had a million-dollar idea, that next big thing that changes society for the better. And when inspiration strikes, how do you differentiate between crazy and genius? How do you know if something is in fact a million-dollar idea? For venture capitalists, this is the challenge, and the risks are substantial – but the rewards can be even greater. In this episode of Connect, we're joined by Hampus Jakobsson, entrepreneur and partner at Pale Blue Dot, a seed-stage venture capital firm that funds dynamic climate tech startups across Europe and the U.S. During this episode, Hampus shares his views on the deep interdependency between humans and our environment and how innovative thinking and emerging technologies can help us to outpace climate change, reveal amazing discoveries and generate revolutionary new use cases.We'll define “climate tech” and explore the latest trends within this sector. Plus, we'll take a look at the different stages of VC investment as well as the upside and downside of using ESG ratings to judge opportunities. And of course, we'll examine how emerging technologies are being used in innovative ways and how government regulations, and in some instances, incentives, are impacting development. Join us and discover how today's VCs are making bold yet meaningful investments in technology to deliver amazingly sustainable solutions.

The climate crisis is one of the most urgent challenges we face today. And while there are many different things one can do as an individual, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer scale of it. Hampus, like many of us, felt that way when he was working as a venture capitalist after selling his company to BlackBerry. But instead of letting it paralyze him, he turned his concern into action. He decided to focus his life on combating climate change by starting his own climate tech fund.During this interview, you'll very quickly notice two things about Hampus. Firstly, he is highly energetic, which leads to him interviewing himself as I tend to be more introverted. Secondly, Hampus is deeply curious about anything he comes across, which motivates and drives him and starts during mandatory Swedish military service.Hampus Twitter: https://twitter.com/hajakPale Blue Dot: https://paleblue.vc/The Drop: https://www.thedropconf.com/TechBBQ: https://techbbq.dk/If you enjoyed this episode, why not recommend it to a friend?Homepage: https://www.deeptechstories.ioPodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/deeptechpodMy Twitter: https://twitter.com/sturmerphLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/deeptechstories Music by Nathaniel Drew x Tom Fox:https://www.nathanieldrew.com/https://tfbeats.com/Design by Amadeus Schwed:https://elementsofpuremotion.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

We spoke with Hampus Jakobsson, co-founder of Pale Blue Dot, on how climate problems could be fixed and what are the biggest challenges.Malmö-headquartered Pale Blue Dot raised 2021 a fund of 87 million euros for investments in climate-focused startups.A few key takeaways from Hampus Jakobsson:**"I would love governments to say: you have to solve this problem. And we have to decide how hard that solving is. And if you haven't done it, if you're the CEO of an oil company, you will go to jail in 2030. But we're going to be super nice. We're not going to throw you to jail now, 2022. So we're just gonna say for the coming years, there are fines, and the fines are going to increase in the scale, but in 2030 you will go to jail. So you go to jail, your biggest shareholders go to jail, your board goes to jail."** "I always try to tell people that for me, the climate - we have to start looking at it like, like child pornography, pedophilia, or child labor or something. If somebody comes to you and says, Hey, I'm going to pitch you this great idea: it's a carpet factory I'm running in Bangladesh, and I'm giving all the kids mittens, and now it's great because they don't hurt their fingers so much anymore. And it's really interesting because they actually can work slightly longer. So we get more revenue out of it, but it's like a double bottom line ...  more profitable, but also actually better for the kids. We all would be like, can you go? Can you please leave this room? I don't want to ever talk to you again, you're a horrible person, I'm going to call the police now."**"I think you can actually say we want this change faster. And you can say, we will go from fines to jail on some of these things, and I think that the third one is on people and culture, we can just say we don't accept mittens on child laborers."** "I think that that's the way we should approach some of these problems, saying no, no, no, no, I'm not after that best child labor camp. I'm after no child labor. And I think that that's a requirement you can actually ask."

Det mesta jag kan som företagare har jag nog lärt mig av andra företagare. Så när jag behövt bli bättre på sälj, velat anställa folk eller lansera något nytt, då har jag alltid frågat andra som redan gjort det.Det är dem du träffar i podden Nästa steg. Helt vanliga företagare som redan kan sälja på Instagram, som lärt sig undvika likviditetsproblem, som redan lanserat en ny tjänst eller vad det nu kan vara. I podden kommer du lära sig av folk som gjort misstagen du vill undvika och som vet att det här med företagande inte är så jävla lätt. Men som ändå inte kan tänka sig göra något annat.Det här avsnittet är ett utdrag ur ett av mina favoritavsnitt i säsong 1 av “Nästa steg”. Hampus Jakobsson har sett hundratals bra affärsidéer och säkert tusentals dåliga. Han vet vad som är “en värdig användning av mänsklig tid” och vad som är skitidéer. Han investerar hellre i bra människor med dåliga planer än dåliga människor med hyggliga planer, tror inte på detaljplanering och får svårartade utslag av managementsvenska. Och han har inga som helst problem med att vara kortsiktigt taskig och såga någons idé eftersom det är det långsiktigt snällaste man kan göra. Han är full av förklarande som är både målande, talande och träffande som hans förklaring om de fyra sätten ett grundare kan misslyckas på. Om det är någon som kan förklara hur du undviker att lägga ner en massa tid på något som ändå aldrig kommer bli något så är det Jakobsson.

Entrepreneurs are: 2x more likely to suffer from depression 6x more likely to have ADHD 3x more likely to struggle with addiction 11x more likely to receive a bipolar diagnosis Hampus Jakobsson knows this more than most. Over the course of his career Hampus has dealt with the mental quibbles that befall every founder. In addition to being an investor, multi-board member, coach, and General Partner (@Pale Blue Dot), Hampus is a leading voice in entrepreneurial mental health. He's spoken at Tedx, PODIM, and most recently, for some inexplicable reason, he's spoken to me. Listen in as Hampus and I uncover the mental obstacles standing in my way. Check it.

He views climate change investing as a currently underserved industry which is why he is using his capital to fund riskier ventures that, if successful, could exponentially advance our fight against climate change.We spoke at length about his background and how he ended up here, how he thinks about climate startup investments, what are some of the industries he's invested in thus far, common misconceptions that people have about Nuclear technology (and why they are irrational) and his framework for scaling individual climate change impact which anybody can use to figure out how they can contribute.HAMPUS' RELEVANT LINKSTwitter Profile: https://twitter.com/hajakMedium: https://hajak.se/@hajakTIMECODES02:35 - Where Did He Start off?

Hampus Jakobsson is an entrepreneur and investor based out of Malmö, Sweden. Throughout his career, Hampus invested in more than 80 startups and is now one of the most sought-after investors in the Nordics. Earlier this year, he decided to only invest in technologies that contribute to solving the climate crisis. In August 2019 we had the chance to sit down with Hampus at The Conference in Malmö to chat about topics such as: Why is there no us vs them in the climate crisis? What is the role of nuclear energy in this crisis? Why are we acting like super anxious teenagers amidst this global debate? Here is episode #22 of the co-matter podcast with Hampus Jakobsson.

Before becoming a prolific angel investor and partner at the thesis-driven VC firm BlueYard, Hampus Jakobsson helped co-found TAT, one of the most influential companies in mobile user experience. He talks to MEX founder Marek Pawlowski about the motivations and challenges of building user interfaces for some of the world's largest device manufacturers, as well as the decision to sell TAT to Blackberry. The conversation ranges from the unique virtues of Malmo in Sweden as a hub for creative start-ups to Hampus' interest in analysing science fiction for clues about solving the big problems of the future.

For this twenty-third episode, I talked to Hampus Jakobsson, co-founder of Brisk.io and The Astonishing Tribe, and now Partner at BlueYard. Hampus started with a group of friends in a dorm room and quickly embarked on an epic journey, sailing where the wind would blow. He made user interfaces for the big phone manufacturers, sold his company to BlackBerry for $150 million, worked there in mergers and acquisitions, started angel investing (in now 90+ companies), launched a new software startup to get more experience at raising money and is now at the other side of the table, investing in tech startups that are about to change the world. We theorize about how the world works, about the two different stages of a startup, the state of venture capital, work-life balance, and why you should not build someone else’s company.
