Last week, I had the chance to chat with Dr. Johannes Braith,and Laura Hallermeier about Shopstory founding journey at the " FUTURE MC: Meet the Next Level" event right in our office. 🚀 Johannes and I, being entrepreneurs at heart, really got into what excites us about the startup world, debated whether starting a business is for everyone, and discussed how to pick the right business model to convince investors. I am a big fan of these kinds of exchanges because you always end up with fresh perspectives into the areas you're passionate about. For instance, Johannes shared his insights as an investor and how he picks his portfolio, and I shared how we prepared our growth case and international expansion. And with our new no-code platform launching, we couldn't help but dive into whether the AI buzz is impacting our business models – super interesting since our approaches are very different. 💡 Big shoutout to Future MC for setting up this chat – it's always a pleasure to learn from each other. #FutureMC #founders #growthjourney #lessonslearned
Thanks for your insights Sebastian Schwelle!
Highly interesting event! Thanks for the deepdive into expectations and reality of advancing a startup, investor relations, new trends as well as how to personally deal with everyday challenges of entrepreneurship! I especially enjoyed the discussion around how profitability or process excellence can impact innovation (and the different views on it!)
Thank you for setting this up Sebastian, Johannes & Team!
