The Unexpected Lessons I Learned From My Time at Klarna

When you were at Klarna, how much of the team did you inherit and how much did you have to build yourself? It's a little bit murky. I think I inherited about 30 people and turned over a bunch then we ended up being closer to 100 if you look at all supporting functions. The company itself grew a lot at the time, I think we went from 50 to 100 million dollars in one year. We got acquired very early in 2011. They took their first investment from Sequoia in May of 2010 if I'm not mistaken. By the end of 2011, we raised the unicorn round from the SDNGA and it snowballed from there.
