Spotify Co-Founder Calls for Reforms to Shield Sweden’s Startups

One of Spotify Ltd.’s co-founders has again pressed the music streaming service’s campaign for education, tax and housing reform in Sweden to preserve the country’s vibrant environment for startups.

Martin Lorentzon, who started Spotify with Daniel Ek, joined venture capitalist and Skype founder Niklas Zennstrom, former Finance Minister for Sweden Anders Borg and several other business leaders in signing an open letter Thursday calling for reforms, and warned that failure to do so could force businesses from the Nordic region’s biggest economy.
