CEO, Gefion Ventures
Steffen Kirkegaard is the CEO of Gefion Ventures, and is known for his large network within both the venture industry and the startup community in general, not least as the former board member of DIF. Over time, he has, like so many others, found it difficult to finance his ideas and therefore, in cooperation with an investor, started Gefion Ventures, whose main purpose is to raise money for startups. In spring 2019 , Gefion Ventures will develop an international platform that will use support from the Danish venture and business angel industry to syndicate both internally and externally and will create a better framework for co-ups where startups find together to create even better products based on their ideas.
The idea is to create an even better ecosystem for financing and startups at home.
