Daniela Sjunnesson

Daniela has a particular interest in product-led organisations utilizing the latest technology and she loves working with companies and founders at the earliest stages. She brings deep expertise in commercial strategy and B2C to the team and portfolio, as well as a genuine conviction that some of the most exciting technology companies of the next decade will be built at the intersection of interactive entertainment, AI-native product thinking and platform-scale ambition.

Daniela's background is in the gaming and e-commerce sectors. She has worked in different executive commercial roles at companies such as Paradox Interactive (Publ.), Avalanche Studios and Skincity, and has run her own consultancy business working with clients across different growth phases. She is a true operator turned investor, who spent over a decade building commercial functions from the ground up before co-founding node.vc, stepping into a capital allocation role. This experience shapes her approach in working with founders today.

She has been an active board member in well-known game and tech companies, including Fast Travel Games, Avalanche Studios Group and Inet AB, and has made angel investments in a number of tech startups. She has also invested personally as a Limited Partner in Nordic funds including The Nordic Web Ventures, Wave Ventures, Greens Ventures and naturally node.vc, giving her a dual perspective on what good investor relationships look like from both sides of the table.

On a personal note, Daniela is a karaoke enthusiast who has spent many hours in karaoke rooms across Japan and the rest of the world, which is one of the reasons for why we host our annual Techarenan investor party among other events at Moyagi. She is also a devoted foodie who has tried most dining spots worth knowing about. If you are meeting her, make sure to ask about recommendations.
