The videos from TechChill earlier this year are live! 📽️ Michael Bjørnlund, Managing Partner for Rockstart Emerging Tech, joined a panel on Investing Redefined: Beyond Unicorns and Zebras.

The panel covered the changing dynamics of the investment world. Press play for:

✅ A thought-provoking discussion with investors on selecting the right partners who prioritize sustainable growth over burnout.
✅ Navigating the 'new normal' in investment, where success is not just measured in valuations, but in balanced, healthy growth.

Michael was joined by Jone Vaituleviciute (FIRSTPICK), Petar Tsachev (LAUNCHub Ventures), and Arvydas Bloze (Practica Capital) for the panel.
