About Eric Lagier

Eric asks founders to share the ugly slide in their pitch—the honest look at what could make their startup fail—because he believes that kind of openness builds trust rather than scares investors away. He also lives by Mudita, a philosophy of finding joy in helping others succeed that he cares about so much he has it tattooed on his arm, and he puts that mindset into practice by running Basecamp, a hands-on program that teaches portfolio founders real operating skills like strategy, fundraising, and go-to-market.

byFounders is built around a formal Collective of 65+ Nordic and Baltic founders and operators who support its portfolio companies, and it treats ESG and impact as part of how the fund itself is designed, not just a screening step. It focuses on backing globally ambitious founders from the Nordic and Baltic region, aims to build bridges to places like Silicon Valley, and is unusually open about sharing its internal culture and values, including practical, founder-written advice on topics like pricing and product-market fit.
