TODAY’S GUEST

Christopher Holm-Hansen is a Copenhagen-based product designer and the co-founder of MeetButter, a promising new startup which aims to makes online workshops and meetings more human and delightful.

We talk about his journey from training as a civil engineer, through the first product he ever built - a spoon that helps you properly season your food - to his journey through founding 2 previous startups, and a bank’s internal venture group.

We explore how seeking a new direction and remaining engaged at the moment that Covid hit gave him and his team a clue that led to MeetButter’s current product, and what he sees as the future of online meetings and work beyond the Covid-19 crisis.
