Description
The Founder to Leader Podcast is about the necessary shift from founding a company to leading it.
Every episode, three guests unpack a real dilemma. One is always a founder and the others rotate between investors, startup employees, leadership coaches and academic researchers.
The themes we cover are rarely discussed in the startup world: co-founder relationships under pressure, founder-investor power dynamics, the identity crisis of stepping down.
New episode every other Wednesday!
Brought to you by the Founder to Leader program: Denmark’s most established leadership development program for founders, supported by Copenhagen Business School and the Danish Industry Foundation.
