Ferdinand Pfanzelter Vetleseter

Norwegian-Austrian, raised on fjords and ski slopes. Former pro skier for the Austrian Junior National Team and Lyn Ski SFK. I've worked in private equity at Heracles Capital, venture capital at yabeo, and at startups Yazen Health and Dr. Dropin across Europe, cofounded two companies, and taught myself to code somewhere along the way.

I'm interested in most things: global politics, finance, economics, science, history, law, sports, AI, culture, people. I speak a few languages, love meeting new ones, and am a big believer in what Europe can become.

Right now I'm based in Madrid, running side projects because I can't stop building. I love football — Lyn, Liverpool, Rapid Wien. I run. I read. I golf badly.
