Roland Siebelink | Scale-Up Silicon Valley Style: Build Momentum By Focusing On The Right Things
Roland says many startups reach a middle-stage in their journey called the scale-up phase.
“A startup is an exploring mode, a scale up is an exploiting mode”
That’s where Roland comes in. He is a middle-stage business coach who helps businesses grow big but not corporate. Roland says it’s vital to recognize if your business is ready to scale-up before starting the process.
The key is to know whether you have been able to define your product-market fit (PMF). Only when you have clearly determined that should you consider scaling-up.
Roland defines a PMF as a unique solution to a painful problem that customers are willing to pay money to solve. It is essential that a PMF contains each of these three elements.

25 jaar internet in België
In Humo viel het woord ‘Internet’ voor het eerst op 23 september 1993. Daarmee was Humo van alle Belgische dag- en weekbladen het eerste dat zo uitvoerig over het nieuwe fenomeen berichtte. Ik heb dat stuk geschreven, en ik zeg u: 1993 was de prehistorie. Vandaag is het internet overal, als water uit de kraan, toen was het slechts weggelegd voor enkele honderden.
