[close] Welcome to Silicon Vikings Reads 🦄❄️, the global book club for everyone connected to the Nordic–Baltic–Silicon Valley innovation ecosystem. This is where founders, builders, tinkerers, hustlers, operators, investors, policy folks, technologists, creatives, hopeful unicorn-chasers, and the occasional exhausted chipmunk gather to read, debate, and occasionally panic about the future of tech. Expect a mix of: - Nordic clarity ❄️ - Baltic grit 🐿️ - Valley ambition 🦄 - And books that push us to think bigger, move smarter, and occasionally question all of our life choices. Every month, we (might) choose a title that matters — from startup psychology, product thinking, AI, geopolitics, ethics, capital markets, or something existential that pairs well with a strong coffee and a long winter. If you’ve ever quoted Sapiens at a meetup, used The Hard Thing About Hard Things as emotional support, or pretended to have finished Superintelligence, you are among friends. This group is for: - Silicon Vikings members - Nordic/Baltic founders and operators - Valley expats surviving Nordic winters - Investors, advisors, engineers, product people - Anyone who loves books and innovation in equal measure Come for the reading. Stay for the debates. Bring your brightest ideas — and your darkest startup war stories.

[close] Welcome to our book club — the cozy little corner of the world where stories are devoured, opinions are shared & characters are loved. Whether you’re a devoted page-turner, an audiobook addict, or someone who skims and hopes for the best, you’re in the right place. Our sessions are all about good chats, good company & good food & drink! Each month we pick a new title, explore big themes, share favourite lines, and wander wildly off-topic in ways that somehow always circle back to the book. It’s fun, friendly, and totally pressure-free. The perfect way to bring stories to life with people who love them just as much as you do… or at least love complaining about them. Come join us. Bring your book, your thoughts, your hot takes, and wine of choice. The plot twists await!
