Brilliant Minds Stockholm

Brilliant Minds Stockholm Brilliant Minds Stockholm Brilliant Minds was founded in 2015 by Spotify founder and CEO, Daniel Ek, and serial entrepreneur, Arash Pournouri.

The early mission was to spotlight the successful Swedish tech ecosystem and convene creative people around “Swedish values” rooted in openness, transparency, equality, trust and social responsibility to collaborate and create impact. In 2018, Brilliant Minds began a new global chapter as The Brilliant Minds Foundation. As of 2020 the board consists of Daniel Ek and the Wallenberg, Berg/Ax:son Joh

nson, Rapp, Persson, Olsson, Schörling and Andersson families. What started as a symposium in Stockholm, has five years later grown into a global community and movement shaping the future by challenging the present.The aim of the Brilliant Minds Foundation is to support founders with transformative ideas that make the world more sustainable, creative and inclusive.

RIVER is a Swedish artist shaped by a life of movement, loss, and self-discovery. Raised in Gothenburg on a deep love for music—from Elvis Presley to Nina Simone—she found her voice early, but it was after losing her father at 17 that she set out into the world to find herself.

Her journey took her across continents, eventually landing in Mexico, where she performed, built a band, and lived fully. A time of self-reflection led her back to Sweden to take the next steps in her musical journey. Now based in Stockholm RIVER channels her experiences into honest, timeless music rooted in resilience, identity, and a relentless devotion to her art.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome RIVER as a performer at Brilliant Minds 2026.
