Forbes 30 Under 30 Gustav Lundberg Toresson is CEO and founder of Tangent, a venture studio focused on early stage consumer startups.

From selling lottery tickets at the age of 11 to forming his own startup at 18, deferring admission at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and working for J.P Morgan in London and Boston Consulting Group in Dubai, Gustav has had a remarkable, varied career so far. Before entering the world of entrepreneurship, Gustav spent a year in Sweden’s elite military school as a ranger and paratrooper.

Following this, Gustav travelled around the world while studying for his Business and Economics bachelor’s degree and experienced working within both startups and big corporates. He was then admitted to the renowned MIT in Boston but instead decided to study acting, which gave him learnings and skills that he still uses today. He then worked as a consultant at Boston Consulting Group’s new Dubai office and market expansion at Seenthis.
