Why am I here to day?
My start-up biography
– Worked as an entrepreneur since 1998– Involved in 14 start-up’s– 1 IPO (Search Marketing Agency)– 4 exited (Two in Online Retail, Mobile Content, SEO Agency)– 4 close-down (Real estate, Logistics, Agency and Gambling)– 2 live and operational (Agency and Technology)– 3 in early start-up (Agency, Auction, Toys)
And I have combined this with the experience of 15 other entrepreneurs making up for at total of 175 years of entrepreneurship and more than 100 companies, today accounting for more than 5.000 employees.

My EMBA
I survived the IT Crisis in 2000 – 2001 with a tough turn-around! I have experienced extreme growth from 2002 – 2007 I saw the markets go down during 2008 financial crisis and had to
sell/close-down 3 companies and close another 3. I founded, a now successful company, during downtime in 2010 I made a spin-of from one company to another in 2012 I have raised money from investors I expect to be part of at least 20 – 30 other start-ups during the next 60
years.

Just like artists needs to learn how to use a pencil, an entrepreneur needs the skills to build and run a company. These skills can be taught - but the creative energy and the burning flame you either have, or you don´t.
Genes or not!

So the question is: Are you an entrepreneur?
Are you comfortable with: –Chaos–Uncertainty
Are you: –Flexible–Agile–Passionate–Driven–Persistent–Self-confident

Can you?
Spot and execute business opportunities
Identify cash-flow and raise start-up capital
Find the right people to help you build a business

Do you have what it takes?
The entrepreneurs that contain the above mentioned capabilities and abilities are most likely to become successful.
– Everybody gets ideas – every day.
– Very few realize it - hence attempt to realize the idea. Of those who try to realize only 10 % actually start up a business. And of those 10 % only 20 % survive more than 18 month of operation.
The survivors are the real entrepreneurs.

If you are still in doubt!
Take a deep breath and read the following 8 lines:
– Administration– Staff responsibility– Paperwork– Accounting– Insurance– Bureaucracy– Sceptic people– Hiring & training
How do you feel? I’m ok? (you are not an entrepreneur, sorry!) I’m exhausted, my heart is hammering (You have a good chance
of being an entrepreneur)

10 THINGS TO REMEMBERWhen starting up a business
![Page 37: Speaking about entrepreneurship - by Jacob Hagemann](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55499e73b4c90507608b4ecc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Don’t be first! (1)
Be the first fastest follower
Being the first will make you the benchmark for everyone to beat
Usually very expensive to create a non existent marketDifficult to get capitalNo players in the market! Maybe the opportunity is not so great.
![Page 38: Speaking about entrepreneurship - by Jacob Hagemann](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55499e73b4c90507608b4ecc/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Start-up’s are dynamic (2)
There are no average start-ups
Most will change their business model within the first 12 – 18 month
Customers will educate you – if you listen Income will not grow as fast as you thinkCost will grow faster then you think
![Page 39: Speaking about entrepreneurship - by Jacob Hagemann](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55499e73b4c90507608b4ecc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Be ready to burn the boat! (3)
Cannibalize your own business before someone else does it.
While you are in the middle of you start-up opportunity and threats come along. Market may change dramatically and you should always be ready to abandon strategy to go for other and better opportunity.
![Page 40: Speaking about entrepreneurship - by Jacob Hagemann](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55499e73b4c90507608b4ecc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Your biggest risk (4)
Your self! – Tripping over your own two feed.
![Page 41: Speaking about entrepreneurship - by Jacob Hagemann](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55499e73b4c90507608b4ecc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Cash flow/ Revenue Model (5)
How do you plan to make money?
When does the money come in?
How big is the market?– Total available market?– Served available market?– Target Market– Segments
Make a Revenue model that is so clear that even a child can see the potential.
![Page 42: Speaking about entrepreneurship - by Jacob Hagemann](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55499e73b4c90507608b4ecc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Customers (6)
No customers – no money– Users vs. Payers– Examples:
Google (users are you and I – payers are advertisers.)
How should customers find you?
Why should customers chose to buy your product if and when they find you?
![Page 43: Speaking about entrepreneurship - by Jacob Hagemann](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55499e73b4c90507608b4ecc/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Competition (7)
When competitions become an issue – its because you are doing something right!
Don’t worry about the competitors – be happy when they try to squeeze you!
Invite them to lunch – share experience!
![Page 44: Speaking about entrepreneurship - by Jacob Hagemann](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/55499e73b4c90507608b4ecc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Use your network (8)
Your network is key to get a good start!
But, but, but…be careful who you ask for advice:
Everybody is different and the advice of one person will be his or her personal advice, based on who they are as a person: – How risky he or she is?– How smart he or she is?– Is he giving this advice because he did not dare to go the other way?– Did he choose to do A because he could not do B– Is he a bad negotiator and could not get the right prices– Is the advice based on something he or she is very good at and where they
are super connected – and therefore have easy access – will it be the same for me?
– And so I goes on!

45
People, People, People (9)
Hook up with the right people
Get help from professionals!

Be realistic about you role! (10)
