About

I’m an entrepreneur and angel investor with a deep interest in how technology shapes human experience. I’ve co-founded and backed ventures that explore the spaces where design, culture, and emotion meet from early AI audio (Capsule.fm) to upcoming work like Ozean der Zeit. Through my holding company Revefjes AS, I continue to invest in early-stage teams across Europe and Asia helping futuristic minded founders craft products that makes the world richer and more beautiful. Based between Berlin and Oslo. Always curious. Always building.

Capsule.fm also introduced true cross-platform music integration. Users could stream from Spotify, Napster, Tidal, or Deezer, and still share playlists and songs across services. This made music social in a way that transcended the boundaries of competing platforms. Our non-linear modular audio engine blended content dynamically based on location, time of day, weather, social updates, and user interactions. We introduced seven AI radio hosts across four languages (English, German, Japanese, Norwegian), reached number one in the App Store in 25 markets, and built a global community of more than 500,000 registered users. Capsule.fm became a benchmark for beautiful product design and forward-thinking…
