Beyond Beta Presents: TalkBBQ on Tour

We are happy to announce that we are taking our beloved concept of a bite-size TechBBQ - TalkBBQ on tour and we will be hosting it in five different cities in Denmark!

The overarching theme of Beyond Beta Presents TalkBBQ on Tour is CHAOS!

Between the market downturn and economic realities, last year brought its share of challenges for founders and business leaders worldwide. The global sense (and reality) of chaos and uncertainty did not leave the Danish startup ecosystem untouched and many founders faced tough decisions, wide-scale cutbacks, layoffs, and even closed down. Despite the current pitfalls, opportunities exist for founders who are addressing the problems.

TalkBBQ is here to talk about it and address it; whether it is an investment, scaling, salary, the pool of talent, or founders’ mental health. Our speakers will dive deep into the dilemmas, and share their insights on how to navigate and build a successful business in the current market and economy. While we don’t know what’s going to happen next, we must understand the founders' current problems, so we can help each other to navigate through this chaos and inspire solutions where needed the most.
