Riding the Waves: How to Spot and Seize Market Opportunities with Henri Moissinac
Join us on January 9 for a keynote presentation featuring Henri Moissinac, the co-founder and CEO of Tier Dott, a leading European micro-mobility company. With a wealth of experience in tech startups in Silicon Valley and Europe among which as an early employee of eBay, Facebook and Uber, Henri will share some personal experiences with identifying and capitalizing on emerging trends.
We will discuss how timing, strategy, and execution can transform a promising idea into a thriving business. We will explore the concept of “orthogonal innovation”: strategies he witnessed for differentiating and innovating in crowded markets, demonstrating how a unique approach can set your business apart and drive growth.
We will also discuss insights into the founder mindset, learning from the founders he worked for and his own experience as a founder too: challenges and rewards of building a successful startup, offering practical advice on managing stress, persevering through adversity, and maintaining a positive outlook.
