From the Author

I never planned to write a book. But after two decades of building companies across Europe and the U.S., investing in dozens of ventures, and mentoring hundreds of entrepreneurs, I realized there was a pattern in what truly works—and what doesn’t. Grow Into It is the result of those hard-won lessons. It’s not theory. It’s built on real experience: co-founding a medical device company with my father on a tiny budget and no investors, scaling it to over 100 countries, and continuing to launch, advise, and support businesses across industries and borders.

This book is for the builders. The ones without a trust fund, without a head start, but with relentless drive and a belief that something better is possible. Whether you’re just starting out or scaling your next venture, I wrote this to give you what I didn’t have—an honest, practical manual for sustainable and scalable success.
