About

I was 18. Just dropped out of Denmark's top business program. My mom dropped me off in the roughest neighborhood in Amsterdam. My dad wouldn't speak to me. I messaged a founder on LinkedIn and offered to work for free. He said no. So I offered to make coffee and do Excel. He offered €200/month. Best year of my life. By week one I was building their first data dashboard. By month three I was in the room for their fundraise. By month six I knew more about parts of the business than the founders did. I learned something that year that 6 years in Private Equity only confirmed: the world runs on spreadsheets. Every deal, every valuation, every decision. And the people responsible for the digits in those spreadsheets are still working like it's 1995. I spent six years at EQT analysing hundreds of startups trying to change professional services. Almost all of them failed for the same reason. They tried to pull users out of Microsoft. The companies that transform this industry won't be built outside the existing workflows. They'll be built inside them. That's what we're doing at Ylookup. The first agentic workflow engine specialised for private capital that meets users where they work and automates the 60% manual grind. Built by people who've been on both sides of those workflows. We're currently living inside top 10 global fund admin firms across the world. This is just the beginning.
