How to embrace hypergrowth with serenity and joy — Introduction.
Serie of articles giving pieces of advice to the first employees of startups to live serenely and joyfully the hypergrowth.
I joined monechelle.fr a vertical marketplace selling DIY and gardening products in 2014. Five years later, it became ManoMano, completed a 100 million euros fundraising campaign, hired more than 500 employees, and aimed to reach a billion euros in sales by the end of 2020.
In August 2019, I left the adventure. Between my arrival and my departure, I had experienced a x60 growth, going from a business volume of 1 million per month to 2 million per day.
Talking with other first-time startup employees, I found similarities in our backgrounds and thoughts. Thanks to Maylis from Spendesk, Grégoire from BackMarket and Thomas from CybelAngel for answering my questions.
In this series of 5 articles you will find :
👉 keys to progress faster than your company 🚀
👉 answers to questions about your legitimacy 😏
👉 ideas for career moves within your startup 🤔
👉 tips on when you should leave 👋🏽
I hope these words will resonate and I wish you to live such a great adventure.
