​Building Unicorn #2

​11 September | 16:00-16:30
Main Stage, Tech Open, Stockholm

​What do you do differently when you’ve already built a unicorn once?

​Building your first company is about figuring things out as you go. Building the second time around means starting with experience, a network, and lessons from everything that worked — and everything that didn’t.

​Join Ken Villum Klausen, founder of Repodo, in conversation with Mimi Billing of Sifted about what it takes to build an ambitious company for the second time.

​Having already built and scaled a unicorn, Ken is back at day one with Repodo. This conversation explores what changes when an experienced founder starts again — from the decisions you make earlier and the mistakes you avoid, to hiring, fundraising, product and how you think about scale from the beginning.

​What we’ll discuss

• ​What you do differently the second time around

• ​The biggest lessons from building a unicorn

• ​Which mistakes experienced founders still make

• ​How previous success changes fundraising and hiring

• ​Building the founding team for company #2

• ​What Ken is deliberately doing differently with Repodo

• ​Whether building a unicorn gets easier the second time

​Expect a candid conversation about starting again with the experience of having already gone from zero to unicorn.

​Who should attend?

​Founders, aspiring founders, operators, investors and anyone interested in what it really takes to build and scale an ambitious company.

​What you’ll gain

​A rare look inside the mindset of a repeat founder — what carries over from the first journey, what doesn’t, and how experience changes the way you build from day one.
