About

Josefin Landgård is one of Scandinavia's very few women to have co-founded a unicorn. She co-founded Kry in Stockholm in 2014 and served as chief operating officer, and for a period interim managing director, through the years it became Europe's largest digital healthcare provider — having two children along the way. She left in 2018, and in 2019 co-founded MANTLE with the brand strategist Stina Lönnkvist: a Scandinavian skincare and wellness brand, named for the skin's acid mantle and formulated in a lab in northern Sweden, which raised €2.8 million led by Venrex in 2024 to expand into Britain, Germany and the United States. Before Kry she built an operator's career across European consumer and media companies including Videoplaza, Glossybox and Faction Skis. A former competitive skier, she is a venture partner at Cherry Ventures and a member of the byFounders collective.
