Co-founderExperience
After finishing his studies at Gothenburg University, Sami quit his accountant role after just nine months to find the job he'd be willing to wake up in the morning for. While searching for something interesting within finance, Sami started trading for himself.

He pitched a product where this data could be gathered into a slick mobile app to a few friends on Twitter to solve this pain point for themselves.

He also spends an unhealthy amount of time watching European football.
