As a former motorsport athlete turned founder, operator and investor, my career has been defined by a love for working with brilliant minds.

On LinkedIn, I usually share unfiltered thoughts on startups and investments - and what it actually takes to build. No fluff. No BS. Just straight talk from someone who's been on both sides of the table and seen the good and the bad.

I'm heading up different companies:

📈 Paaske & Co | My consulting firm specialized in building thought leadership within tech and investment. I work with executives, entrepreneurs, family offices, VCs and PE firms to build unique storytellings and execute organic content-led growth strategies that drives business results - backed by deep vertical knowledge.

🚀 Abeam | A curated global community for unicorn founders, top-investors and leading executives. We are removing the noise and facilitating real-life peer-to-peer connection for those at the top of their game. (Download the Abeam in App Store to apply for membership).

First Sweden tried it. Then abolished it because the losses were bigger than the gains. Then Norway tried it and lost more than it gained. And now Denmark is about to try it too. The wealth tax 💸 

In 2022, Norway raised its wealth tax expecting DKK ~1 billion in extra revenue. The actual result? They lost DKK ~4 billion. Over 300 wealthy founders and investors left the country, taking capital, jobs, and future investment with them.

Sweden's story is older but identical. By the time they abolished their wealth tax in 2007, Swedish offshore assets had passed SEK 500 billion. IKEA's Kamprad left. Tetra Pak's Rausing left. H&M's ownership restructured to survive it. When they finally scrapped the tax, total revenue increased by SEK 260 billion over the following decade.

The historic economic learnings are SO clear. We have two case studies right next to us. Both say the same thing.

What makes Denmark's politicians think the math will be any different here? 🤔 

We’re literally implementing a competitive handicap for our business owners, backed by law.
