About

Malte Wagenbach

I build companies at the intersection of energy, AI, and the systems that shape civilization.

Right now I'm focused on two things: bringing thorium molten salt reactors to Europe through Vantar Energy, and helping businesses deploy AI that actually works through Zero Slide.

I also build neuromorphic computing tools at Vantar AI and work on civilization-scale coordination through the Oslo Project.

I've built across energy, consumer brands, deep tech, AI, and fintech. Not because I can't pick a lane — but because the best insights come from spanning worlds. The same thinking that helps me understand how civilizations coordinate helps me see where a business is leaving value on the table.

When things get chaotic, I don't rush to the nearest simple answer. I look for the structure underneath — and then I build something that works. I start lean, ship fast, and never lose sight of where it's all going.

What drives me is a simple conviction: depth, integrity, and imagination aren't nice-to-haves. They're essential. For the work. For the people I work with. For the kind of future worth building.
