Martin Buch Thorborg (born 25 May 1970) is a Danish entrepreneur who became known for co-founding the company Jubii in 1995 together with friends Henrik Sørensen and Kasper Larsen. Unlike these other two, however, Thorborg has profiled himself quite a bit in the media, and has held paid lectures since 1997, just as he has appeared many times on television. Thorborg and the 2 other founders of Jubii each owned one sixth (ie approx. 50% together) when they sold to Lycos Europe. They allegedly each received shares for DKK 120 million. DKK, which after a 3-year lockup period had fallen to below DKK 1 million after tax, due to a sharp fall in the share price.

After the Jubii adventure, Thorborg started the company SpamFighter, with Henrik Sørensen and two programmers. It started in Denmark, but quickly expanded to other markets. In that connection, Thorborg moved to Florida, USA, where he lived for four years before returning home to Denmark.

Thorborg has also started Amino.dk and written the book E-Pusher. He is now the director of the accounting software company Dinero, of which he is also a co-founder. At the beginning of 2007, together with Anne Skare Nielsen and Preben Mejer, he was a judge in the TV 2 program Denmark's best idea.

In the spring of 2007, Martin Thorborg published the book Iværksætter til je dør, a combination of biography, anthology of experience and cash entrepreneur handbook. The book sold more than 5000 copies in the first 14 days of publication. Entrepreneur until I die was also given away in electronic form. Both the printed and the electronic version contain sponsorships from Danish companies and organisations. These sponsorships enabled independent publishing outside the established publishing and bookselling industry. Thorborg also has a YouTube channel with over 2.7 million views,[1] where he actively uploads videos about entrepreneurship. Martin Thorborg is privately married to Jannie Buch and has two children from a previous marriage. In November 2016, Martin Thorborg sold the company Dinero to the Norwegian company Visma for an unknown amount of millions. Thorborg is still CEO of Dinero. In March 2017, the company Ageras was sold to the investment company Investcorp from Bahrain.
