Luke Janssen — Co-Founder
Most important to me is thinking differently and creatively. Being curious about the world and not being afraid to try to change it. I am an Entrepreneur who founded and exited Tigerspike, founded Mangosteen Venture Studio, a fund that works with underrepresented founders to set up and grow purpose-driven companies; and through that co-founded / created: Bambu (wealth tech), Lucy (digital bank for underbanked women), Betacarbon (climate tech), and Minikai (AI agents for carers). I spend my time between Bali, Singapore, Sydney, UK and Portugal with my wife (@lydiajanssenart) and 3 children. In my spare time I dive (PADI advanced), fly planes (CAA PPL), Skydive (USPA-B), Freedive (SSI-1), Sail (Sydney-Hobart 2004), Ski, and rock climb. When I was young (school) I came 4th in a national waterski competition and represented HK playing Rugby while making some nice cheddar cheese selling t shirts and our band's CD. Who cares about all this stuff? I believe good things come from trying to become good at many things. At my core I am a musician. I play piano, guitar, sing, write and record songs (4m streams is my best effort!) and whistle (International Grand Champion 2009)... that's right. I'm the best whistler on the planet!
