Erik Wikstrom

Cofounder of Magine

I have spent the last 25 years in the Media, Internet & VC industry. Some of my specialties are scaling technology companies, financing (done more than 100 financing rounds), IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, growth and internationalization. I have built over 30+ companies, taken 3 companies public, managed a group of 3500+ employees, acquired over 30 companies. Lived in China for 4 years, investing in Chinese tech companies, operated a venture capital company together with Goldman Sachs and George Soros. Currently based in Stockholm, I have lived and operated businesses in most parts of the world, including San Francisco and New York, London, Brussels, Madrid and Beijing.

I love cooking, playing and listening to music and of course, my family. When I studied I made a living as a DJ.
