[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.
