About

Maxine Rior brings a bi-cultural Swedish-French perspective to European tech investing, combining her engineering background from Lund University with finance experience from Carnegie and Kinnevik to focus specifically on AI-native founders building agentic solutions for traditional B2B SaaS markets. She actively covers both Nordic and French-speaking startup ecosystems with a relationship-focused approach, describing herself as wanting to know founders personally and understand their super powers while helping them disrupt inefficient incumbents across sectors like tax prep, pet insurance, and compliance workflows.
