Erik Bovee General Information
Description
Mr. Erik Bovee is a Co-Founder and served as Partner at Speedinvest. He served as Board Member at Gustav. He served as Board Member at Stateless. He also served as Board Member and Advisor at Inkitt and Metis Labs. Previously he was the Vice President, Business Development at Wikidocs and Wikitude and Managing Director of EMeta Corporation. Being based in Silicon Valley, managing different time zones is a way of life, especially as most of the ventures he is involved in through Speedinvest are European. He started life as an academic, with plans to teach at university, but in his last year of a Ph.D. at Oxford, he met an engineering professor who had other ideas. A few months later they had raised $7 million, which seemed like a very modest amount in early 2000 and he has been helping to build technology companies ever since. His career developed quickly as he found passion in helping talented engineers and product people navigate the early years, finding product-market fit, finding their first, cornerstone customers, and raising their first funding.
