Colors: Vastness, Miniature  II

I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields. For today – Vastness, Miniature  II

Rapid Growth and $58 Million in Financing with a Virtual Company: Storyblok CEO Dominik Angerer (Part 6)

Sramana Mitra: Talk to me about running a virtual company. What are some of the benefits that you’re deriving out of a global talent pool and the cost structure of a global talent pool? What are the nuances? I’ve been running a virtual company since 2010.

Dominik Angerer: In 2010, there was not environment that supported you doing that. Now there’s a lot of things you can use. My co-founder Alex moved back to Brazil in 2018. We both knew that if he moves back, we needed to find a way to employ him in Brazil. We actually created a subsidiary. If we wanted to create people in Germany, we had to create a subsidiary there as well. We cannot work with contractors all the time because of all the IP.
