What To Expect At A Boardwave Dinner

The secret sauce to a really great networking dinner is the calibre of people you meet, the quality of the discussion, which is interesting and thought-provoking and finally the dining experience, whether it's at a smart venue, or Michelin Star restaurant. If you bring all these things together everyone has a great time, learns a little and meets new friends and colleagues.

“How I built a Unicorn and sold it to SAP” - learnings from the Hybris global growth story

What are the strategic elements you need to consider to build a thriving software business with the potential to compete on a global scale? What are the pitfalls to look out for and when should you consider M&A for growth?

Founded in 1997, Hybris was the brainchild of Carsten Thoma, Moritz Zimmermann, Klaas Hermanns, Christian Flaccus and Andreas Bucksteeg. SAP acquired Hybris in August 2013 for $1.5 billion, which was the highest-value private acquisition of a technology business at the time.

Join us at our next dinner event in Munich where we will hear first hand from Moritz the story of how he navigated running a fast scaling business. What challenges did he face along the way and how did they overcome these? What led them to the decision to sell to global giant, SAP? 

Don't miss out on this opportunity to network, share experiences and knowledge and build new relationships.
