Ascentic

Need some New Year’s resolution inspo? Here’s what some of our Ascenders have planned for 2025! #newyearsresolution #2025 #goodluck #lifeatascentic

It's now been 15 years of entrepreneurship. I’ve seen the highs, the lows, and the lessons that don’t get talked about enough. If I could do it all again, here’s what I’d avoid: 1. Find a co-founder who complements you, not mirrors you 🤝— The right co-founder balances your strengths and weaknesses. It’s easy to assume you need someone who’s just like you, but that often leads to blind spots. Team up with someone who brings fresh perspectives and different skills, and your business will thrive. 2. Avoid the ‘Founder’s Trap’ 🕳️— It’s easy to subscribe to the belief that you have to do everything yourself. But trusting your team and handing over the reins isn't a weakness, it’s a strength. Empower others, and you'll scale faster. 3. Ignoring personal burnout 🔥— I’ve burned out more than once because I neglected self-care. Without energy, passion fades, and your business will too. Take care of yourself— it's not just good for you, it’s good for your company. 4. Not questioning assumptions ❓— I’ve launched things I assumed would work just because the market said so. But what works for others doesn’t always work for you. Never stop questioning whether your assumptions are still valid. 5. Avoiding conflict 🗣️— I used to hate confrontation. Now, I see that avoiding difficult conversations only prolongs problems. Deal with them head-on, sooner rather than later. It saves time, money, and a ton of stress. Being an entrepreneur is messy and chaotic, but that’s where the growth happens. The key? Learn from the unexpected. but don’t let yourself get stuck in the same mistakes over and over. Keep adapting, keep improving and keep growing. 💪 

Happy New Year! Wishing you all a fantastic 2025! #happynewyear #2025 #kiribathcoma

Så gör bilder dig mer framgångsrik som VD. Väljer du att inspirera eller styra med järnhand? Jag hade det stora nöjet att träffa Anna Kalm på mitt och Christoffer Andersson Frukostseminarium, ”Bygga bolag i praktiken” Anna berättade är att de satsar mycket på arbetsmiljö och företagskultur på Ascentic där hon är grundare och Vd eller som hon själv utrycker det ” Chief Geek at Ascentic” Att inspirera och vara kraften i ett bolag är ofta det som skiljer de framgångsrika från de som inte riktigt lyckas. Du som ledare behöver jobba med ditt personliga varumärke och Inte minst i din kommunikation som VD. Mitt tips är att jobba proaktivt med utgångspunkten från dina personliga värderingar och planera med lång horisont. 📸 Porträttet på Anna gjorde vi i samband med vårt seminarium, alla VDs som deltar får förutom en introduktion till EOS även ett porträtt av mig.

🎉 2024: The Year That Was! We survived deadlines, coffee-fuelled brainstorming sessions, and calls that could’ve been emails. But hey, we did it, and we did it together. 🏆 Here’s the real story of our year: ☕ Cups of coffee consumed: Too many to count (someone, please send help). 💻 Teams notifications: 14,657 (we’ll get to them… eventually). 🕺 Times we danced like no one was watching (not realising someone was filming us for this recap video!): ♾️ Big wins, bigger laughs, and plenty of "I love this place" moments. Here's to another year of chaos and creativity with the best team in the game! #AscenticWrapped #WeDidThat #2024InReview

At a time when the industry seems to be evolving at ultra speed, this year's strategy days with the Ascentic leadership team felt extra needed. Reflecting back at the past 7 years, building the company from paper sketches to 100+ employees, it's often the small things that come to mind. 💯 that first time a candidate said Ascentic is their dream job 💯 the warm fuzzy sense of accomplishment from a customer referring to their team as a-players, rockstars, key-people 💯 those moments of crushed stereotypes of what an offshore team can deliver ...and this - a leadership team that has been with us from the start. Consisting of completely different personalities and point-of-views. Leaning in, so strongly, on how to constantly raise the bar of what we are doing. Challenging one another on how it's best done, fearlessly and always rooted in the strive to build Ascentic to the very best company it could possibly be. For our customers. For our crew. And the strategy for 2025? This year we're raising the bar in a slightly different way than before. Stay tuned 😉 Shoutout to my key-people Yusra Marikkar Dilini Rajapakse Shanaka Perera Wasana Gallage Patrik Alm #entrepreneurship #companygrowth #businessdevelopment #technologypartner
