Books & Media | Fredrik Sandvall
My public work exists alongside my work as a global investor engaged in board-level work and dealmaking. Writing and long-form conversations are how I explore ideas that matter over time: value creation, incentives, and how complex systems behave when pressure increases.
This work is designed for depth and continuity, not commentary.
Selected Books
I write to clarify how value is created, protected, and lost inside real systems. The focus is on practical judgment rather than theory.
The Abyss of Finance
An exploration of trust, leverage, and systemic risk, written for decision-makers operating inside complex financial and institutional environments.
Options Strategy: Build to Keep. Ready to Sell Tomorrow.
A practical framework for founders and operators focused on building durable businesses with clear optionality, alignment, and long-term equity outcomes.
These books are intended to age well and be revisited as context evolves.
Podcast
I host Invest in You, a long-running podcast built around extended conversations with founders, investors, operators, and thinkers from around the world.
The format is deliberate:
- Long-form rather than compressed
- Curious rather than performative
- Focused on decisions, not personas
For many listeners, the podcast is an entry point into how I think and how I approach complexity.

Media and conversations
From time to time, I participate in external interviews and conversations. These are typically exploratory and unscripted, touching on dealmaking, boards, incentives, governance, and how enabling technologies such as AI act as multipliers of judgment.
