What does it take to start a new initiative, to be your own boss, and to lead a team to achieve your vision?
Alex Packham, CEO of ContentCal, explores how he took his business from an idea to a full-fledged social media and content planning business acquired by Adobe. From determining product-market fit, to facing new challenges that few have faced before, to hiring an expert team and building a culture where curiosity thrives, founders must take action on many fronts as they scale their companies. Alex will share key findings from his experience and give us a tip or two on how to solve problems creatively.
Join us on Thursday, April 28th, at 2 pm BST to discover:

Really looking forward to this. I have always thought it is much easier to run a large organisation where you have the funds and resources than a start-up where the uncertainty and the unexpected can so easily derail you.
