FIRESIDE: From Zero to Decacorn
From Zero to Decacorn
What does it really take to build a $10B company from Europe?
Petter Made has done it. As cofounder of SumUp, he helped build one of Europe’s most successful fintech companies from zero into a global decacorn.
Now at EWOR, Petter works with the next generation of exceptional founders aiming to build companies at similar scale.
Join Petter Made in conversation with Mimi Billing of Sifted for a candid look at the journey from zero to decacorn. What matters in the earliest days? How do you scale globally? And what separates great startups from companies capable of becoming category defining businesses?
