For a generation taking responsibility – The Young Founders Network in interview
Amazon, Airbnb, and Trade Republic have conquered the world in completely different industries. Yet even though online retail, vacation rental, and digital banking couldn’t be more different, all these companies have one thing in common: Before they took the world stage, these companies existed only in the heads of a few brave founders who, through hard work, teamwork, and of course a bit of luck, were able to realize their dreams. But how does a young, motivated person navigate this long and sometimes arduous path from a bold idea to actual implementation?
