Hi, my name is Søren. I’m a small animal vet from Denmark. I have a somewhat successful startup, but I’m struggling to make it grow.
I’m past the naming, logo design, proving a product, and getting first customers. Now I want to take the business to the next level.
The solution must be shifting myself out of the founder-doing-it-all-by-myself-role into the CEO position.
Even though I have a degree in veterinary science and a ton of experience in entrepreneurship and online marketing, I have no formal training in running a business.
If you like me want to learn, come along for the ride, and we’ll learn together, as I share my wins and mistakes along the way.
