Welcome to episode #3. Our guest is Nelli Hergenröther, CEO of software consultancy Evenly.

Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode #2! Today we talk to Rotem Carmely, CEO and founder of Clustered. She tells us about the journey behind founding her company, her initial love-hate relationship with the city of Berlin and tips on being yourself when faced with sometimes daunting professional situations. We know it can sometimes difficult to find your tribe, but remember, everyone is in the same boat! Enjoy!

This is the very first episode of SLACEO! We talk to Patrick Gruhn, co-founder of the Silicon Valley Startup Replex. On the show, he talks about the hurdles of launching your own company and how perceptions might matter more than we think. He also let's us in on why we'll never catch him wearing Birkenstocks and gives us an answer to the question we've all been waiting for: where's the place to be right now, San Francisco or Berlin? Enjoy!
