Venture Road California

Our first journey in July 2025 took us from San Francisco to San Diego, meeting scientists, founders, investors, and community builders along the way. We explored cultural differences in pitching and fundraising, the strengths of each region, and what co-creation and co-ambition look like across the Atlantic.

From Nordic breakfasts with cinnamon rolls to a beach barbecue under the San Diego sunset, the trip blended serious insights with genuine connections, and showed how Nordic voices can make their mark in California’s life science ecosystem.

During Venture Road California we sat down with local experts to hear their perspectives on co-ambition and co-creation between the Nordics and California.
