The Crowdlending landscape in Scandinavia with Sebastian

“We have had new record months every month since the pandemic began, in terms of new investors signing up on our platform. I think it’s because people think that the stock market is too volatile.” 

Would you sell your apartment to start a business? Sebastian did! Sebastian Martens Harung has had multifaceted past careers - from goalkeeper for Norway’s 1st division to an investment banker and ultimately, the co-founder and CEO of Kameo, a digital marketplace for crowdfunded loans to small businesses and property developers. Kameo started with a humble beginning in 2014 with Sebastian selling his apartment and renting a smaller place to use the extra money to invest in his business. Now, Kameo has over 30 employees and operates in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm! 

In this episode, he shares valuable insights into the Crowdlending landscape in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden and how Sweden’s relaxed approach to Covid19 has been more beneficial than harmful to the Crowdlending industry!
