From Startup Founder to Investor: Lessons From The Spacemaker Joourney

From Spacemaker to investor: Håvard Haukeland on what makes proptech succeed.

What makes a proptech company truly investable—and how can founders navigate the path from idea to global scale? Few know this better than Håvard Haukeland, co-founder of Spacemaker, the groundbreaking AI platform for architecture and real estate development acquired by Autodesk in 2020.

In this talk, Håvard shares candid insights from both sides of the table: the founder who built one of the Nordic region’s most successful proptech exits, and the emerging investor looking for the next wave of transformative companies. He will highlight the common traits of startups that succeed, the kinds of companies he would invest in today, and how artificial intelligence is reshaping the future of the built environment.

For startups, this is a rare chance to hear what it takes to succeed. For investors, a window on how bold ideas can become billion-dollar businesses.
