A Swedish national, he left a Silicon Valley startup career, having founded Godmode and co-founded Dework and the Y Combinator-backed Depict.ai, to join the project.","What those ventures were explains the move: Godmode was one of the first autonomous AI agents to reach a large user base, Dework a project-management tool built for organisations that pay in tokens, and Depict.ai a machine-learning product that went through Y Combinator in 2020.","At Próspera his job is demand. A zone with good rules and no companies in it proves nothing, so the work is recruiting founders, easing their arrival and shortening the distance between someone’s interest and their incorporation. The zone passed five hundred incorporated companies during his time there.","He makes the case in the terms a founder actually weighs, which are the cost of starting, the time to a licence and whether the rules will still be there in ten years, rather than in the language of political theory. He studied in Stockholm.",1788062490507]
