11:20 - 11:40, 23rd of September (Wednesday) 2020/ INSPIRE STAGE
Serial entrepreneur Jonathan Low is all about passion. He used to be a national champion and professional athlete in the sport of badminton, and he has founded 4 international tech-companies.
Every time he has refused to focus on an exit strategy, even though his investors have asked for it again and again. Why? Because exit strategies, according to Low, are toxic to both passion and people.
In this thought-provoking and inspiring keynote Danish award-winning entrepreneur Jonathan Low will share his inspiring story of more than 20 years as a serial entrepreneur, bestselling author and top-athlete. Including talking about his latest company - JumpStory - which has been named "Netflix for images" and has users in more than 70 countries.
He will explain why you should never start a company, unless it's an obsession and something you love. If you have an exit strategy, it’s not an obsession.
