THE DREAM IN ACTION

This is a talk given by Morten Lund, a serial entrepreneur and investor. He’s most famous for his investment (and exit) in Skype. Morten is truly honest with how he feels. You may take him as brash, blunt, maybe even crude or disrespectful but he tells it how he feels it and everyone who knows him speaks very highly of him.

Morten is a great example of the entrepreneurial spirit. He’s in it for the experience not the money. This is proven by his nonchelaunt response to his loss of about 40mm Euros from a print newspaper company that folded a few months ago. He’s quoted saying he was “happier as a poor student, than he was picking out a private jet, so who cares.” Try and get past his grunge euro appearance (which I think is pretty sweet) and listen to how brutally honest he is will his audience, his experience, and his passion.
