We hereby wish to congratulate our first participants on successfully completing the very first FDS training program

Hosted at the beautiful Ågrenska Villan on december 2-3, this brand-new two-day intensive program — launched by GU Ventures — brought together innovators, investors, and ecosystem builders from across Sweden. After completion, the participants received their certifications of the Financial Design for Startups (FDS) program and the fulfillment of all its requirements.

“Two intense days of diving deep into some of the trickiest challenges faced by startups were one of the highlights of the year. A big thank you to the participants, who showed an impressive thirst for knowledge. I’m excited to see what they’ll create with their new toolbox. Many new doors have already opened just a day after the course. The next course starts soon — let’s go!” - Per Hulthen - Creator of EVS and FDS.

“A well-structured program that provided clear insights into financial design for startups. Highly relevant and directly applicable to investment work.”  — Mattias Jonsson, Örebro University Holding

“Per Hulthén and GU Ventures have established this training program in close collaboration and we are now proud and delighted to finally launch FDS together. With this program, we provide startup entrepreneurs, board members, business coaches and mentors with essential insights, that are rarely accessible at an early stage, but that can make all the difference in navigating growth, reducing risks, and ultimately creating more successful companies and exits. This initiative reflects GU Ventures commitment to supporting entrepreneurs with the expertise they need to thrive in an increasingly competitive ecosystem. A huge congratulations to all participants for earning their certificates and contributing with sharp questions, collaboration, and real-world insights.”
