Interview with ‘Boersen’

Today Carsten called Dagbladet Børsen and 5 hours later we were seated at Café Den Blå Hund at Frederiksberg with journalist Louise Kastberg.

We spend 1,5 hours together and Louise took enough notes to fill up half an A5 pad. She found our concept surprising and asked good broad questions such as:

- How did you get the idea for Rainmaking?

- What makes Rainmaking unique?

- Do you have some good advice for other entrepreneurs?

With regards to the good advice, she had asked to prepare something before the meeting, so I brought with me a text with 7 good advices. It was probably too much text, as it needed to fit into a certain box in the paper. But the stuff you didn’t get to see there will be posted in this blog, as I, in all immodesty, believe that they are pearls of wisdom, which can make an enormous difference to most entrepreneurs. The 7 advices didn’t exactly emerge from nothing or by theorising – they are the sum of our experiences from 15 start ups and are the way we make companies in Rainmaking (or at least try to).

Reading the 7 advices again last night I had a feeling, which can only be described by compromising our decision to go against the flow of other entrepreneurs (who said Morten Lund) and never swear on our blog: it’s bloody poetry!

We eagerly await the article and will post the date here on the blog when we know it.
