"Make a plan & stick with it. No matter what." - Mette Lykke - CEO Too Good To Go

This week with Mette Lykke. CEO & Investor of TooGoodToGo (https://www.toogoodtogo.com/), a mission driven company to fight food-waste together. Founded in 2016 and active in 17 countries ToGoodToGo saved 120 Mio. Meals last year (= 4 meals every second). Mette also talks about her former venture ENDOMONDO, which she & her partners sold for 80 Mio. to Under Armor.

In this episode, Mette takes us on her journey with ups and downs on how to scale up and build a unicorn and how COVID was a real challenge for her & TooGoodToGo.

Our main learnings from this conversation are:

1. Suck it up & make it work.
2. Roll up your sleeves & dive into the problem.
3. Make a plan & stick with it. Not matter what.
4. When Data & Gut Feeling are aligned you are on the right track.
5. Stick with your values, especially in crises.
6. Work & Focus on a come-back plan.
7. What’s the worst thing that can happen?
8. Is the passion still there?
9. Does the world need what you are doing?
10. Do you still believe in it?
11. Start „better“ companies. The world doesn’t need another videogame.
