Roughly a month ago, Maria Bahamam a.k.a Madam Rotterdam stopped by for an interview. Maria was part of the first Firmhouse Venture Lab cohort. About a year later we finally got to sit down and talk about how I evolved as a Founder and the history of Firmhouse.
We managed to cover a lot of ground:
Why did I start Firmhouse? What pushed me to even think about it?
How did me and Michiel meet and decided to work together?
What do we mean when talking about a healthy business, how did we apply it?
My personal story & background, how did it shape the direction for Firmhouse?
I've never very publicly spoken how being ill at a young age shaped me. And above all, having gone through that, allowed me to build a company.
Enjoy the podcast and hit me up with any questions on Twitter @jansn.
