Curious Worldview 89: Magnus Brandberg | Family Offices, Swedish Exceptionalism & The Potential Of Geothermal Energy
🎙️: https://atlasgeographica.com/magnus-brandberg/
The following is a conversation with Magnus Brandberg, a founding partner of Gullspång Invest, a family office based in Sweden.
They are investing patient capital on a generational timeline, focusing on issues core to the transformation of society towards sustainability. Magnus has a background in renewable energy and cleantech with an MBA from Insead and a Ms.c from Uppsala.
I reached out to Magnus because of a fascinating company in his portfolio, a geothermal financing company called Base Load Capital operating out of Stockholm, with operations in Japan, Taiwan and Iceland. The podcast is neatly divided into three parts, each more fascinating than the last.
