Nordic Science Capital

The owner of this discounted detergent is 81 & a Swedish crown billionaire. I took this photo because it taught me a lesson about building wealth: Saving > making money No matter how much money you make, wealth will always be the money you haven’t spent. 🏙️ John D. Rockefeller, the wealthiest man in history, was an extreme saver. In his 30s, Rockefeller found a way to save one drop of glue during a routine assembly process. 40 years later, when he was the wealthiest man in the history of the world, he was still talking about that single drop of glue he saved: “This small adjustment resulted in cumulative savings amounting to many hundreds of thousands of dollars,” the 74 year old wrote in a letter to his son. True wealth brags about how much it saves–not about how much it raises in venture capital. 🧬 If you’re an entrepreneur who knows how to build wealth like this, we at Nordic Science Capital would love to talk.

Are you admitting that you are actually an 81-year-old Swedish crown billionaire?
