About this episode

Jonas Anker doesn't approach investing like someone who only studies companies from the outside.He approaches it like a builder who has spent the last decade creating them.From starting with very little to building three profitable companies, achieving successful exits, and now investing across AI, deep tech, and hard assets, Jonas has developed a perspective shaped by execution rather than theory.His experience in full-contact martial arts, including winning an amateur world championship, also shaped something central to how he operates: discipline, resilience, and the refusal to walk away when things get difficult.In this episode, Jonas discusses:● How he went from studying law to becoming a self-made entrepreneur ● Why he considers himself a builder first and an investor second ● What martial arts taught him about fear, persistence, and pushing beyond limits ● Why Anker Capital takes a hands-on approach instead of simply deploying capital ● How he evaluates founders, their ambition, integrity, and ability to execute ● Why he spends more time understanding the downside than chasing a potential 100x return ● What separates genuinely defensible AI companies from businesses simply using AI as a label ● Why specialized AI solutions may have a stronger future than generalist products ● How his experience building companies influences the way he invests in themJonas’ story offers a perspective that goes beyond venture capital:Capital can fund a company. Experience, judgment, and persistence help build one.—-----------------------🎧 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲🔗 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smu8hV9AUuk&list=PLIUBbSI0VTk1JbL_8U7AciTe-6nCLKaKT 🔗 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a8ccad06-05d4-45e9-9f69-a4b6eacd77c7/the-digital-storm-weekly-podcast 🔗 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-digital-storm-weekly-podcast/id1867227116 🔗 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/779CC9Nn8coXth0tNjlt2d 🔗 RSS: https://rss.com/podcasts/the-digital-storm-weekly-podcast/ ----👉 Love my content?Dr Joerg Storm: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joergstorm/ Lucas Storm: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-storm/Paul Storm: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-storm/ Follow Jonas Anker : https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonas-anker-37aa29213/
