Anton Toll Hakånson from DayCape, One the Come Up

For the 30th episode of One the Come Up, it was my fortune to be joined by Anton Toll Håkanson, the CEO and founder of DayCape. Toll Håkanson’s career began somewhere far away from entrepreneurship or user experience: scuba diving. After being a scuba diving instructor for a year, he decided to head off to Hyper Island, where he got his first taste of entrepreneurship, and where he developed his idea for DayCape. After completing his time on the Island, and subsequently following that up with a year at Berghs School of Management, it was time to launch DayCape and Daymonics. The former is an app that helps children with cognitive deficits navigate their days with a fun and interactive calendar. The latter is Håkanson’s freelance company for UX/UI design and strategy consultancy. In 2015, Day Cape went through the Reach for Change incubator, ultimately being one of the winners of 2015 Change Leaders. Today, DayCape has expanded to seven Countries and helps the lives of thousands of users.
