]]> Starting as a young composer, I received my first paycheck from music royalties in 2004, when my song represented Greece at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The music industry’s system of remuneration based on copyright, became a huge incentive to keep learning and investing in music. Copyright paid for new music equipment, musical instruments and funded my Bachelor studies in Music Technology (Kingston University, London).

Later, during my Master’s studies in Music Management (UiA, Norway), I was fortunate enough to be guided by bright minds from both industry and academia, namely:
Prof. Bendik Hofseth, Dr. Roger Wallis, Prof. Daniel Nordgård and the extraordinary Peter Jenner (Artist Manager for Pink Floyd, The Clash, Billy Bragg, T.Rex).

Since 2016, I have worked as a Copyright Consultant (music licensing) with professional experience from PRS for Music, International Copyright Enterprise (ICE), Heaven 11 and currently leading Copyright at Broma 16. Throughout my career I have been involved in international copyright/tech projects together with NORCODE, WIPO and Creative Europe-EU Commision, to name a few. Nice to meet you!

]]> Jakob Wredstrøm is the founder of Amplitude Ventures, a venture studio that helps early-stage founders build, launch, and grow their startups.
He has over 10 years of experience in music tech and startup development. His approach is practical and focused on execution. He works closely with founders to build products, prepare for investment, and move with clarity through the early stages of growth.

Jakob began his career in music after a sports injury ended his path as an athlete. He built his first studio from scratch and later expanded into labels, tech platforms, and creative businesses. That experience taught him the value of structure, momentum, and working closely with others.
At Amplitude, he has helped launch and scale startups across AI, fintech, education, and creative industries. His focus is on building strong teams, clear strategies, and early traction.

He also hosts the Sound Connections Podcast, where he speaks with founders, creators, and operators about how ideas become companies. He introduced AI-Jake, the first AI podcast co-host, to explore new ways of sharing insights.
