Kristian Jul Røsjø is a former Norwegian diplomat who worked in Moscow, Jakarta, and New York before deliberately switching to venture capital at Antler, bringing an unusual combination of energy sector experience from his time at Statoil in Russia and international operations background that most early-stage VCs lack. At Antler, he has worked with 450-500 founders and invested in over 60 companies in Norway alone over five years, building deal flow from day zero rather than competing for later-stage rounds, and has earned a reputation for careful selection with Antler reportedly closing only one of roughly 40 Nordic portfolio companies.
