Manuel Koelman will share the biggest entrepreneurial challenge his company, PIRATE.global, has ever faced: “Within a week all revenues went to zero; We had one month of runway left in the bank; We lost multi-years contracts; We had to repay a significant amount of advance payments” .
Join our Startup Grind online event on Friday, November 20, at 8PM (GMT+2), where Manuel will share their COVID turnaround story about pivoting, re-imagining an industry and building a durable company culture and remote team.
