Leadership

[close] Welcome to Silicon Vikings Reads 🦄❄️, the global book club for everyone connected to the Nordic–Baltic–Silicon Valley innovation ecosystem. This is where founders, builders, tinkerers, hustlers, operators, investors, policy folks, technologists, creatives, hopeful unicorn-chasers, and the occasional exhausted chipmunk gather to read, debate, and occasionally panic about the future of tech. Expect a mix of: - Nordic clarity ❄️ - Baltic grit 🐿️ - Valley ambition 🦄 - And books that push us to think bigger, move smarter, and occasionally question all of our life choices. Every month, we (might) choose a title that matters — from startup psychology, product thinking, AI, geopolitics, ethics, capital markets, or something existential that pairs well with a strong coffee and a long winter. If you’ve ever quoted Sapiens at a meetup, used The Hard Thing About Hard Things as emotional support, or pretended to have finished Superintelligence, you are among friends. This group is for: - Silicon Vikings members - Nordic/Baltic founders and operators - Valley expats surviving Nordic winters - Investors, advisors, engineers, product people - Anyone who loves books and innovation in equal measure Come for the reading. Stay for the debates. Bring your brightest ideas — and your darkest startup war stories.

[close] 📚✨ Dive into our literary playground with the 'ChitChat & Chapters' Book Club! 🎉 Join the fun game of 'Who's Picking the Book?' where every month, one member gets to be the book boss.

[close] We are reading through part of the must read list that Craig Groeschel put out. Here's how it will work... Each month will have one chosen book that's the MAJOR book and one that's the MINOR book. Those joining us will commit to getting themselves a copy of the major book (physical, digital, or audio), and finishing it within the month it's assigned. ALSO they will TRY to do the same with minor book. At the end of the month we will have a Book Club meeting. Every month will have a Zoom online meeting, and if we have enough local people interested, we can have a physical one at each other's houses with food and fellowship and stuff! We will discuss both the major and minor books from that month and grow together. We are inclusive and will take member all through the year, however only the first few get to choose from the list. I will post the pics so far (I got to choose half of them because I'm greedy) and then in the comment I will post the entire list. Shout out any questions you have or simply reply "I'm in" if you are ready to join this new tribe. YOU are invited and wanted! Can't wait to grow with y'all.
