At DI - Dansk Industri, we were thrilled to have Karriereklubben drop by our booth during the TechBBQ conference to record a live podcast. And guess what – it was their 50th episode! 🎉 This episode delved into the relevant topic: ‘How to Scale Slow but Steady’. These were the dilemmas discussed in the podcast: 👉Cecilie is unsure whether her company is ready for scaling. 👉Thomas is afraid his team might burn out because of the fast pace. 👉Alexander is doubting whether stable profit or aggressive growth is the solution for his startup. To address these compelling dilemmas, we had a panel of experts including Varan Pathmanathan, Founder and CEO of Purpose Agency, Sebastian Nielsen, CEO of Slow Coffee and Henriette Schultz Kirkegaard, Entrepreneur & Angel Investor at Zephyr and Angella Invest.
