As a part of Black Leaders Month, Startup Grind London hosted a panel discussion about “Learning for Founders” with:
- Cliff Fluet – Partner at Lewis Silkin;
- Kenneth Siber – Head of UK and Ireland at WeWork Labs;
- Gary Stewart – CEO + Co-founder at The Nest;
- moderated by Petar Savic – Co-Director at Startup Grind London
We follow-ed up with a fireside chat with Europes’s youngest unicorn founder: Markus Villig, CEO & Co-Founder of Bolt, hosted by Marian Gazdik.
Markus Villig founded BOLT.eu, the leading transportation platform in EMEA. He founded the company in 2013, being just 19-years old. He is now the youngest founder of a billion dollar company in Europe as well as the youngest tech CEO in Forbes Europe 30 under 30.
Bolt is the leading European mobility platform that’s focused on making urban travel more affordable, convenient and responsible. The company’s services range from ride-hailing to micro-mobility with e-scooters and electric bikes to food and package delivery.
Markus shared with us key learnings they learned while building Bolt and scaling it into a $2 billion unicorn.
