The road here
From Aalborg to nowhere in particular. School did not fit, music did not stick, the conventional path never held me. What did fit was the work I kept doing on the side. Eventually, the side became the whole thing.
I have built it, run it, broken it, and fixed it, often for someone else. I have sat in the founder's chair with no one to call, and I have been the one they called. I know how these stories end.
I am a Danish founder, fixer and investor. I have started companies, run them, watched some break, and rebuilt them, sometimes mine, more often someone else's. I have made the expensive mistakes myself and I have been paid to clean up other people's. That is the whole edge: I know what a problem costs from the inside, and exactly how it gets solved from the outside.
I have never taken a salary in my life. Not in the polite sense, in the real one: I have always made my own money by creating value other people were willing to pay for. I work where the stakes are real, funding, healthcare, litigation, financial investigations, and I do it with a small, sharp team amplified by AI. I also carry a deep network across China, built over years inside its high-net-worth circles, that I draw on for deals, manufacturing, AI and getting things built.
Family first. Everything else is negotiable. I am obsessed with computers and with building things that did not exist yesterday, and I am happiest when I am deep in something hard. I do not really have an off switch, and I stopped pretending I wanted one.

I am not chasing clients or filling a calendar. But if you are sharp, building something real, or sitting on a problem worth solving, I am always happy to go back and forth with people I can learn from. The rest sorts itself out.
