Gründerszene is the online magazine<br />
for start-ups and potential start-ups,<br />
publishing important news and information,<br />
success stories and specialist<br />
articles by well-known experts with<br />
the goals <strong>of</strong> inspiring business founders<br />

A: Get your arms around the numbers<br />
– know the key indicators <strong>of</strong> your company,<br />
then you can base your strategy<br />
on them. And be careful about setting<br />
up a business with friends, because<br />
the people you trust in private might<br />
not be the best business partners.<br />

A: The best advice I (Lukasz Gadowski)<br />
got was in 2002 while fundraising<br />
for Spreadshirt. I received it at Georgia<br />
Tech in Atlanta: “Don’t waste your<br />
time with fundraising, you won’t get<br />
any decent <strong>of</strong>fers in this market.” I disregarded<br />
the advice, and my time was<br />
wasted. Lesson: timing is key!<br />
