Podcast appearances and mentions of magnus grimeland

In this episode of Screw It Just Do It Sessions, Magnus Grimeland, CEO and Founder of Antler, shares how he transitioned from Zalora to launching a global early-stage VC firm. Magnus dives into how the idea for Antler took shape, the early challenges he faced, and the importance of building a strong, ambitious team to create a global platform for supporting exceptional founders. If you've ever wondered what it takes to build a world-leading investment firm, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Fady Abdel-Nour, General Partner at Antler, and Jeremy Au, talked about three main themes: 1. Naspers & Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Learnings: Fady shared his career path, starting in investment banking during the peak financial markets of 2007. He then transitioned to Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, focusing on long-term and solution capital investments. There, he led Ontario Teachers' first private deal in China with Ganji and worked on JD.com. Later, at Naspers, he specialized in FinTech, leading investments and M&A, particularly in payments and alternative lending in India, Brazil, and Indonesia, with notable investments including PaySense (acquired for close to $200 million), and a digital mortgage company in Brazil (valued at $4 billion during its last round). These experiences helped Fady develop a keen understanding of the importance of strategic geographical diversification in investment. 2. Antler Partner ($285M AUM) Outlook: Fady was impressed by founder Magnus Grimeland's rapid scaling of Antler and helped launch the Elevate growth fund that closed at $285M USD. Fady discussed the current favorable conditions for deploying capital, noting that while there are fewer opportunities compared to 2020 and 2021, the quality has significantly improved. He highlighted a reduction in less promising ventures, making the market more attractive for serious investors. He also was optimistic about the market's potential to improve and attract international investors, e.g. Japanese investors increasingly exploring Southeast Asia. 3. India vs. China vs. Southeast Asia VC: Fady discussed that China is becoming less investable to global LPs due to geopolitical tensions, while India continues to show rapid innovation and strong domestic and global business potential. He explained how he sees diverse markets in the region with significant growth potential, e.g. Indonesia and Singapore which are emerging as FinTech hubs with companies like PayPal and Stripe establishing a presence, thus creating a fertile ground for new ventures. Jeremy and Fady also talked about his reflections on moving from larger organizations to a more entrepreneurial setting, China's leading role in digital transactions, and the rise of digital adoption in different markets.

Before building Antler from scratch, Magnus co-founded Zalora, the leading online fashion store in Asia. In this episode, Magnus recounts how losing a family member at the age of 7 made him question the meaning of life at a very young age and gave him the drive and ambition to achieve great things in life: from receiving a scholarship for college, to studying alongside Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin at Harvard, to becoming a partner at McKinsey, to building the leading online fashion store in Asia, to now being world's day zero investor supporting founders globally in the hardest and most creative moment of their entrepreneurial journey - the inception. We also talk about how to find one's life purpose early, happiness, having kids at a young age, mental health, how to develop judgment, and the concept of "frontloading" which is key for entrepreneurs to achieve success.

– Tanken vår er at sivilisasjonen beveger seg fremover og en bedre fremtid blir bygd ved at veldig flinke mennesker velger å innovere rundt det å løse store problemer, sier Magnus Grimeland, grunnlegger og CEO i venture capital-selskapet Antler. På sine drøyt fire år har de hatt en formidabel vekst. I denne episoden av OBF-poden får vi høre mer om hvordan de har lyktes. Et av suksesskriteriene som trekkes frem, er det tette samarbeidet de har hatt med advokatfirmaet Thommessen, i episoden representert ved partner Ylva Gjesdahl Petersen. Hun er koblet på Antlers prosesser fra en svært tidlig fase – gjerne før en idé er ferdig fundert. I denne podkastepisoden kan du også høre mer om: Hvorfor ble Antlers ideer og visjoner, av blant annet programleder Tor Haugnes, møtt med en viss skepsis? Hvorfor er samarbeidet med Thommessen så sentralt for Antler? Hva er det viktigste å tenke på når man har en startup? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, we start the conversation on the structure behind the Antler venture capital platform to identify and foster talent worldwide. We cover leadership, perseverance and grit amongst the most outstanding leaders and how specialisation is often better than a generalist. The conversation covers the diverse world of founders and how they see to identify critical problems that are scalable and financially viable. Finally, we discuss the challenge of building a venture capital portfolio, when so many early-stage companies fail, and despite an ever-growing marketplace of well-funded unicorns looking to eat the world.

While Super Apps have become a trending phenomenon in the world of tech, the concept itself remains ambiguous to many. If you live in the West, you might have heard the term being used, but if you live in Asia, Super Apps is something you cannot escape. Super Apps are built and developed as marketplaces for several integrated services in one consolidated tech solution. Super Apps are multipurpose platforms, offering services such as voice and video chat, ridesharing, food delivery, lifestyle services, e-commerce, digital banking and payments, to only mention a few. In one simple phrase, Super Apps have become the swissknife of modern day living in Asia.In this episode of NBAS Talks, we have gathered a panel of top qualified experts that will explore the topic of Super Apps.

Futurist Trond Arne Undheim interviews Magnus Grimeland, CEO and founder of Antler, the early-stage VC. We talk about trigger points to achieve greatness, promising startups, the globalization of venture capital, the importance of finding founders with drive, spike, and grit. We also discuss the future of work. The takeaway is that the future of pre-seed investing is changing by globalizing and moving beyond the old startup hotspots and into places like Amsterdam, Oslo, Sydney and Nairobi. VC is also maturing and moving away from the US-concept of an elevator pitch and seeks a deeper understanding of the founder, validating the startup idea and building a product by bringing in talent and networks across markets. After listening, check out Antler's as well as Magnus Grimeland's profile:Antler https://www.antler.co/Antler (@antlerglobal) https://twitter.com/AntlerGlobalMagnus Grimeland https://www.linkedin.com/in/magnusgrimeland/Magnus Grimeland (@MagnusGrimeland) https://twitter.com/MagnusGrimelandAdditional context about the show, the topics, and our guests, including show notes and a full list of podcast players that syndicate the show can be found at https://trondundheim.com/podcast/. For more about the host, including media coverage, books and more, see:Trond Arne Undheim's personal website (https://trondundheim.com/)The Yegii Insights blog (https://yegii.wpcomstaging.com/)Pandemic Aftermath https://trondundheim.com/pandemic-aftermath/ Disruption Games https://trondundheim.com/disruptiongames/To advertise or become a guest on the show, contact the podcast host here.

"I was being hounded by the producers at the BBC. I went to the Virgin Fast Track event, Richard Branson was on stage asking 'Who wants to come on a safari with me'? So I said 'why not?'. He then said 'for this much money' and I thought 'God, I can buy a Porsche' for that. Everyone was sat there saying 'don't do it Piers', but I put my hand up. I ended up at at Sir Richard's private game reserve in Ulusaba in the Kruger national park in South Africa, which is basically like a bond lair... My phone kept ringing and these producers kept calling and asking 'Are you going to join Dragon's Den or not?' Richard saw me sat there puzzling over this and asked, 'Are you alright'? I replied 'No', and he said 'do you want to chat'?. We had a corona together and I told him the story and he said 'Screw it, Just Do it'. He actually said that. He said I would get on a plane for a good TV spot. He said 'Right, let's ring them up', and I said 'ok, I'll do that', and he said 'No - Now' and he made me ring them and I said 'I'm in'. So that's how I ended up on TV. Then he just wandered off and left me."

I genuinely think that this business, with Magnus driving it alongside his incredibly talented team, has the potential to change the world in the same way that Air bnb, Uber or even Apple has done.

"The fundamental reason why most startups fail is that it's literally not the right co-founding team. It's one of the greatest challenges you have as a founder - to find a co-founder with those other skills you need to build a great team and a great business. Many of times you are close to bankruptcy, many times there are other big issues. Great founders find a way through that - tenacity is critical. Sometimes teams succeed not because they are the best one, not because they have the best business model, but because they didn't give up." Welcome to the trailer for episode #137 with Norwegian entrepreneur Magnus Grimeland. Ex-Navy seal, Harvard graduate and co-founder of Antler: Startup Generator. It's Magnus and Antler's mission to turn the world's top talent into great founders of great companies. I'll be talking to Magnus about: Focus Collaboration Problem-solving Let's StartUp!
