Roundtable: Scale up your business
Our Roundtable concept is about meeting up with a small group of members who are willing to share their experience and knowledge about a certain topic. We create themes around popular challenges and shared difficulties. When all participants balance giving and taking of information, we believe that a Roundtable can be a very valuable experience for every participant.
In this Roundtable we will focus on the growth process from startup to scale-up. A business passes through different stages as it slowly expands, with each stage coming with its own challenges - in this session we will look at strategies to overcome these challenges.
The following expert will join this Roundtable:
Tjebbevan Meeteren - As Commercial & New Business Lead at Fish Tales (and ex Co-owner of Farm Brothers cookies) he is responsible for bringing the company commercially to the next level in Western Europe. Fish Tales is a Dutch seafood brand founded in 2014. In 2022 the business recorded a turnover of 12 million euros.
What can you expect in this Roundtable session:
Tjebbe will guide you through the process of successfully scaling up a sustainable food business. He will share useful tips and learnings from his experience working with startups, scale-ups and corporates, and he will explain strategies for scaling up your business.
- How do you get into big retail in the Netherlands after having made a start in for example catering, deli or organic shops?
- And what comes after that, how do you enter the markets outside of the Netherlands?
- How can you know your exact spot in the landscape in terms of quality, price, USP's, margin in a new channel or market?
These questions among others will be discussed in this interactive session.
