Jakob Wredstrøm is the founder of Amplitude Ventures, a venture studio that helps early-stage founders build, launch, and grow their startups. He has over 10 years of experience in music tech and startup development. His approach is practical and focused on execution. He works closely with founders to build products, prepare for investment, and move with clarity through the early stages of growth. Jakob began his career in music after a sports injury ended his path as an athlete. He built his first studio from scratch and later expanded into labels, tech platforms, and creative businesses. That experience taught him the value of structure, momentum, and working closely with others. At Amplitude, he has helped launch and scale startups across AI, fintech, education, and creative industries. His focus is on building strong teams, clear strategies, and early traction. He also hosts the Sound Connections Podcast, where he speaks with founders, creators, and operators about how ideas become companies. He introduced AI-Jake, the first AI podcast co-host, to explore new ways of sharing insights. Jakob is based in Norway and works with a global team. He values focus, trust, and getting the work done.
