Lessons in Fundraising, Scaling and Mental Toughness Join Quinten, a successful, exited founder from the Netherlands who scaled the tech hardware startup Felyx to European levels. Learn from him as he talks about how to scale a tech company, what infrastructure you need and how you can raise funding for your startup. He will include the lessons he learned not only from his time at Felyx but also his time at EWOR as a partner. After his talk you will have time to ask him your own questions.
