About
Victor Jacobsson co-founded Klarna in 2005 as one of three Stockholm School of Economics students whose pay-after-delivery idea placed last in their school's startup competition — and which listed on the New York Stock Exchange twenty years later at roughly $15 billion. He served as the company's early chief financial officer through its formative decade, leaving day-to-day operations in 2012. Rather than cash out, he bought in, using right-of-first-refusal provisions and special-purpose vehicles to accumulate Klarna stock on the secondary market for years before the IPO; Forbes now puts his net worth at $1.2 billion. He completed his master's in business and economics at the Stockholm School of Economics two years after founding the company, studied philosophy at Stockholm University, and served as a deputy platoon commander in the Swedish Armed Forces. He invests in early-stage companies including Mercanis, Jar and WeTravel.
