It’s rare for a company to be successful in the first year of business – and even more rare to reach the million-dollar mark. This is the situation Olivier Momma found himself in 2016 after launching his Amsterdam company, Ekster. Now a business with 45 full-time employees across 11 countries, Ekster creates smart wallets, bags, and accessories for customers worldwide…
Olivier joins us to discuss the origins of Ekster, the company's hardships, and the lessons he learned along the way. Are you an aspiring entrepreneur with a hunger for success? If so, this conversation is undoubtedly worth tapping into!
In this discussion, we cover:
- What makes Ekster’s products different and new.
- The core vision of Olivier’s company.
- The public’s early reaction to Ekster.
- Insight for crowdfunding startups.
