Christian Ostberg

Partner

Tribeca Venture Partners

Christian Ostberg could not be strongly verified from the provided Tribeca Venture Partners team source in the public results available. Reliable public sources instead identify a Christian Ostberg as a General Partner at Fin Capital with focus in fintech, enterprise software, and proptech, so this profile should be treated as uncertain for Tribeca matching.
