“I haven’t yet met a VC firm more aligned with my frame of mind and goals than Wellstreet.” – Meet Jessica Rameau

Wellstreet encourages the portfolio and its team to take active ownership, accountability, and responsibility for their growth path. I firmly believe in putting your head down, rolling up your sleeves and getting to work, regardless if you're the underdog. If you bite off more than you can chew – then you just chew!

"You could say I was there from the start" - Meet Helen von Bahr

I worked with both our founders at Klarna so thats when I met them both the first time. When Wellstreet was founded I sat next door to them in an office hotel at Brunnsgatan (that translates to Wellstreet) so you could say I was there from the very start.

"We were building it from scratch" - Meet Daniel Nowak

I was able to really make a difference. As Partner and COO I set up processes and made sure they worked for our purposes. In that capacity, I was also the founders "business development right hand", and from time to time I would jump in and support the startups in the portfolio if we judged beneficial.‍

I wanted to break into the world of Venture Capital and reached out to the team at Wellstreet through an email.

"I worked on every aspect of running a company" - Meet Anton Ijäs

My journey at Wellstreet was diverse. I worked on almost every aspect of running companies. I worked hands-on with most portfolio and occasionally joined some companies temporarily when needed.
