Happy birthday blomitec!!! Five years ago we kicked off what would turn to be the most beautiful (professional) adventure of my life. Five years full of entrepreneurial roller coaster, with dizzying successes alternating with crushing failures, only to turn more successful after learning from our mistakes. I was blessed with the best colleagues I could dream of. I would like to thank each single person having joined the company and left a personal imprint in the future development. Here a five takeaways out of these five years as a founder: 1) Take care of your colleagues. This is hard, especially when you are working remotely, with higher risk of overlooking or misinterpreting distress signals. Working in a small company redefining itself on the fly while doing the work of an established team 10X it's size is so rewarding, but can be exhausting and overwhelming. 2) Select your customers wisely. Many individuals may be enthusiastic, but not have the power to make the project happen in their company. 3) Price carefully. Everything will cost you far more than you think. 4) You will receive tons of advice. Write everything down and weigh carefully what makes sense to you. 5)Embrace ups and downs. To paraphrase people wiser than me, see your company as a rolling egg. Don't worry which side is pointing up, as long as it doesn't stop.
