Vision Comes First with Kåre Kjelstrøm

Without a clear vision, a startup will likely struggle to gain momentum. In this

episode, I speak with Kåre Kjelstrøm, Group CTO & CPO at Concordium. Kåre has

extensive experience working for startup tech companies and he shares his insights

into the key factors that have helped companies like Concordium and Uber achieve

success.

In this episode, we cover -

● The power of learning through teaching.

● Kåre’s experience of working for Uber during a period of massive growth.

● How was it adapting to a much smaller startup after working for Uber?

● Blockchain technology and the benefits of data sovereignty.

● The powerful question that Kåre asks every team member.

● The 3 critical ingredients for a successful startup to thrive.

● Identifying vision in a founder and learning if an opportunity is worth pursuing.

● What should those considering starting a business consider first?
