What Successful Second-Time Founders Do Differently
Here’s what serial entrepreneurs change about their next business
The sun was setting and starting to melt into a creamy orange color over the beautiful fields of Mallorca’s nature. Our group of 15 entrepreneurs had gathered on the island to learn from each other. One of my core beliefs is that if you surround yourself with extraordinary people, good things happen, and you’ll learn a lot. That’s why I host Digital Founders Camps to share my own entrepreneurial experiences with the next generation as well as to learn from them.
Our special guest for the evening was Jordi Ber, a local entrepreneur from Mallorca. It turned out that Ber and I had a pretty similar history. We both founded startup companies around 10 years ago. Both companies shared the mission to help small and medium businesses online. Ber ran Habitissimo, a marketplace for tradespeople, and I founded RegioHelden, a marketing agency for local businesses. We both had employed hundreds of employees and sold our companies in deals that made us financially independent.
