Lund was declared bankrupt in January 2009 [2] in the aftermath of stalled free newspaper venture Nyhedsavisen, but he announced that he was out of bankruptcy in April 2010.[3]
Biography
Lund was born in
An early venture was Neo Ideo, a web consultancy founded with friends in 1996. This became one of Denmark's top three agencies before its sale to advertising giant Leo Burnett in 1999. His first major investment firm was LundXY, which operated a variety of intent-oriented businesses, and the newspaper Nyhedsavisen; the paper's failure led to Lund's bankruptcy.
After his bankruptcy, in 2013 he started a new business network known as OnlyXO, through which he would chair a number of early stage companies, including Capital Aid, Itembase and AirHelp, and several startups that he personally co-founded. The present focus is on financial technology companies that can be integrated with the systems of digital invoicing specialist Tradeshift. Capital Aid is described as "the star project." Additionally, as part of the OnlyXO network, Lund has helped to launch initiatives that match his own needs as a serial entrepreneur, including pitchXO, Tofte & Company and Sharkboard.
Personal life
Lund has four children and lives in a northern suburb of Copenhagen, Denmark.[5]
