From Start-Up to Grown-Up
Every start-up goes through several critical phases on the road to success:
After a successful take-off, you need to be able to keep an eye on your altitude and your own compass.

However, when there is less experimentation and standards have become established, the corporate culture changes at the same time.
People are looking for a new meaning in their work.
We believe that successfully shaping this process is critical to success.
