Why Scale-up is the new Start-up 

"The founders that we revere are famous not because they started but because they scaled. Many successful startups stumble at 40+ employees as scaling up is completely different to starting up. New ways to think your business in the areas of Purpose, Product, Process & People hold the key to transitioning from a startup to a scaleup. Join Professor Haslam from IE Business School in Madrid to get insights on this new area of study which will be of vital interest to anyone facing the scaleup challenge.”

He is now the cofounder and Chairman of Hot Hotels, the first company from Spain to be accelerated by the Techstars program in the USA (Boston, Summer 15)
