Hi, I'm Eric

My name is Eric Quidenus-Wahlforss and I’m a tech entrepreneur and investor. I love building! Recently, I built Dance. Before that, I built SoundCloud. I also invest in startups through Klaradal, my holding company.

I’m from Stockholm, Sweden, but I’ve been based in Berlin since 2007. I’m a San Francisco regular since 2006.

In my free time, you can find me reading, watching the occasional arthouse film, playing table tennis, road biking, skiing, or enjoying the natural beauty of the Stockholm Archipelago and the Salzkammergut region. I used to produce music under the alias Forss (Soulhack, Ecclesia).

Here is me talking about SoundCloud in 2013. Here’s a podcast with me discussing Dance in 2022. In 2006, Alex and I turned our master’s thesis on trust in online spaces into a book.

You can find me on X, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
