Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#74 Axel Ahlström – robotics, industrial tech and the future of manufacturing in Europe
Q: What makes a founder compelling to Kvanted in the early screening stage?
Founders must have a strong, exciting vision paired with a concrete plan for how to reach it. They should come from a technical background or have substantial domain expertise, and be able to explain a plausible path to revenue and profitability, rather than relying on hype.
#74 Axel Ahlström – robotics, industrial tech and the future of manufacturing in Europe
Q: Why did Kvanted choose a geographic footprint that spans multiple European countries rather than staying strictly Nordic?
Because the industrial tech ecosystem, especially in robotics and deep tech, is distributed across Europe. They see value in being close to strong, specialized clusters (e.g., Switzerland's ETH Zurich, Tampere's laser ecosystem, Finland) and in leveraging regional strengths to source opportunities with long-term potential, rather than being confined to a single country.
#72: How to build a winning e-com/consumer brand in 2026 with Aida Jammal
Q: How do you think about pricing and positioning in light of these huge international companies?
Brands should focus on quality more than ever and build a community to lower vulnerability against low price competitors.
#72: How to build a winning e-com/consumer brand in 2026 with Aida Jammal
Q: What do you think about discounting?
You need to be tactical about your discount; you don't want to educate your customers to only buy your products at a discount.
#72: How to build a winning e-com/consumer brand in 2026 with Aida Jammal
Q: How should they be thinking about outsourcing versus in-house?
The two most important things for a company to own are products and the customer journey. Those cannot be outsourced.
