Produced by Foundersuite (www.foundersuite.com), "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders and investors who have raised capital.
This episode is with Rene Hansen, CEO of X Shore (https://xshore.com) a Swedish startup making 100% electric boats.
In this episode, we discuss the chicken and egg problem when launching a new category like e-boats, the technology that makes it all possible, how the business raised capital from both banks and over 500 individual investors (many of them also boat buyers), and more.
X Shore was originally founded by Swedish entrepreneur Konrad Bergström. X Shore most recently raised €8.5 million (about $9M US), bringing the company’s funding to over €100 million. New investors in the round included Northvolt founder and CEO Peter Carlsson. Previous investors in X Shore include Delivery Hero founder Lukasz Gadowski’s Team Europe holding company, Navin Thukkaram, founder and CEO of Innovation Bootcamp, and Marec Gasiun, former Head of Automotive Business Development at Google and Summa Equity.
