Mads Christiansen is a private investor specializing in digital transformation, e-gaming and technology. He freely shares his thoughts and ideas on Twitter and also runs a YouTube channel (both you can find in links below). Mads got his investing capital from his job as a medical practitioner. While working, he parked his money in passive index funds. 

As his itch for investing grew, he found himself drawn to e-sports, gaming and digital transformation companies,. These are companies with long secular tailwinds at their backs. To Mads, if you start your fishing trip in the best ponds, you'll end up catching a few big winners. And that's exactly what he's done. A couple of Mads' big winners include Sea, Ltd. (SE) and Gravity (GRVY).
