This is a strategically significant hire and follows on the heels of G\u00fclsah Wilke\u2019s arrival as Partner to head our German office. It is testament to our continued commitment to the European market through the addition of industry-leading talent, and we\u2019re also delighted to bring across a portfolio company CFO.\u201d<\/p><p><b>Thomas Rubens, DN Capital Partner, added:<\/b> \u201cI have known Rasmus for over five years, having worked closely with him when DN led a $7million Series A funding round for GetAccept in 2019. He was instrumental to the early success of GetAccept, and his extensive hands-on experience of growing a business will be valuable both to DN as well as to future portfolio companies. His background in B2B software complements our current sector specialisms and I am looking forward to working closely with him.\u201d<\/p><p><b>Rasmus Areksoug concluded:<\/b> \u201cHaving worked with DN as an operator for the past five years, I&#8217;ve been struck by the teams\u2019 dedication, energy and value add to entrepreneurs.
