She fits perfectly into our founder friendly, engaging, open and positive culture, and also adds even more analytical experience and frameworks to our Luminar playbook.
“We have carefully been looking for our next partner at Luminar. Louise was our ideal candidate. She is a very smart, humble, considered, and analytical person, who has hands-on experience from working in the Nordic early stage ecosystem. We have been, behind the scenes, working with Louise since last summer and feel that we have a perfect mutual fit, and that Louise will become a strong contributor to our team. 2022 could not have started better, and we are super excited to finally announce this to the world, says Jacob Key General Partner at Luminar Ventures”
“I have followed Luminar, from a close distance, for a few years and I have been amazed how quickly they become a leading player in the local early stage ecosystem. When you ask around among founders, and co-investors, everyone is saying positive things about the Luminar team as persons, how they really are adding value in the critical seed stages and what a strong portfolio they have built. I am excited to start working full time and help Nordic founders go after their visions and create world leading companies, says Louise Hagen partner at Luminar Ventures.”
