IMD Alumni Community for Entrepreneurship

Founder Series

Founder Series is designed to help current and future founders learn from successful founders.

There is a breadth of experience in any business scaling story. What is the right moment to scale? Do you grow domestically or scale internationally? How to grow your team? Is company culture important as you grow? How to raise capital and fuel growth? Founder Series is designed to help answer those and other burning questions, whilst also giving you insights into the character and style of individual entrepreneurs.

The Series is hosted by Ian Charles Stewart – an entrepreneur, co-founder of WiReD Magazine, and Executive in Residence at IMD. In each session Ian will interview, in-depth, a successful founder on their path to date and their plans for the future.
