Today, we are talking about something many entrepreneurs dream of: expanding your business internationally. What better way to learn than from someone that has done this twice, in 2 very different ways: once heavily funded, and once bootstrapped. Today we talk to Erwin Sikma, entrepreneur, interim CEO and management consultant. During his experience leave at McKinsey, he joined the heavily funded Rocket Internet, where he built four online classifieds businesses in more than 10 countries. Erwin caught the entrepreneurial bug and started his own Agriculture Tech business: Impact Terra. Once he had found product market fit, it was time for international expansion again: only this time as a founder, and this time, he needed to bootstrap.
