Kindred for Business’ Post

🌊 After nearly 4 incredible years, it's time to bid farewell to my amazing journey at everwave, that comes to an end this month. As I reflect on my time as Head of Marketing, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to such a purpose-driven company. It felt a bit like co-parenting a child and letting it go now, knowing that it has the best crew around it that you can imagine (says the childless person 😉). Leaving everwave is bittersweet, and I'll admit, there's definitely one crying eye. But as they say, sometimes the best decisions are the hardest ones. To the incredible team at everwave, thank you for the memories, the challenges, and the countless moments of growth. I can't believe where everwave came from and where it is now! Remember the time we had collected 0 kilo of trash and now look at us: over 1,5 million kilos 🚮 Shoutout and all the best to my fav team: Clemens Feigl, Dr. Tilman Floehr, Helge Adomeit, Kristina Brantl, Gizem Bulut, Achim Staude, Marie Hemmis, Elke Schweitzer, Jaqueline Peters, Jacqueline Plaster, Dr. Sabine Schründer 🌊 As for me, I'm taking a little time-out to focus on recharge and some trainings & coachings, having in mind: "Wenn nicht jetzt, wann dann..." I'm eager to see what the future holds and am looking forward to whatever adventures lie ahead. 🚀 Here's to Goodbye for now everwave and cheers to new beginnings! 🌟 #Goodbye #SocialImpact #PurposeDriven #Startuplife

~I’m sharing a series of notes from our first year making Rodeo. If you think what we’re doing is calling your name, let us know @ app.letsrodeo.co and we’ll arrange for some early access.~ About a year ago, my now co-founder (previous Hinge CPO) Tim and I decided to brainstorm a new venture… I came ready with a list of (questionable) ideas… ✖ A way to predict where a golf ball will land so you don’t lose your ball ✖ A platform to make meetings that didn’t suck ✖ A locksmith rollup play ✖ The IMDB for real estate [what does that even mean!?] ✖ [the list went on] Then Tim pitched a mission…. ✔ What if we helped friends be better friends with their friends? We spent the remainder of our time in passionate debate (or at least as passionate as two monotone guys get)…. ▶ Why does this ubiquitous human desire to strengthen relationships seem to get consistently ignored (and often undermined) by technology? ▶ Is there any social product incentivized to truly care about the quality of my relationships? We quickly concluded it was a space in which we could happily spend more than a decade and make an impact. Prioritizing Founder-Mission-Fit (what I believe to be a variant of Founder-Market Fit) worked well for us coming from a mission-driven company like Hinge. We had lived what it’s like when you’re 4 years into your journey and still don’t have the right solution. This is the moment when founders without fit quit and understandably pursue the right fit. Founders *with* fit maintain or grow their passion and curiosity as they pursuit their mission. This, in turn, authentically attracts and motivates talented people for the length of time it takes to build something great. The time it takes to achieve PMF is usually longer than you think, but optimism is a good thing! If anyone wants to run with that IMDB for real estate idea, DM me for the full pitch. 🤠 🤠 🤠 ~More to come on topics such as what fundraising was like ‘in this economic climate!?’ and other things people have asked me recently...~

I like having my notes, tasks and plans meticulously organized. I maintain clear action points using the same structure, year after year. As I was working on this year's action plan, it hit me. 2024 is my 5th year with Rayscape. 🥳 I started with zero knowledge about building and scaling a health tech start-up. As the first employee, I worked side by side with the co-founders. Stefan, Bogdan, Cristian, Andrei, thank you for the leap of faith! Today, after many struggles, bugs, iterations, and pouring in hard work, we are scaling this company globally. And this is so exciiiiiting! 🤩 While there is still much work to be done, I am thrilled about what lies ahead. Here are my top four takeaways after four years in a growing start-up: 🎯 The team is the heartbeat of any start-up. 🎯 Networking is an art. Collaborations with investors, advisors, and partners are crucial for success. 🎯 No two periods in a start-up's life are alike. 🎯 Consistency and resilience pave the way for sustained growth. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Here's to an exhilarating 2024—ready to rock and reach new heights!
