#8 - VanMoof
In this episode of the Sheeptank Podcast - Migration, I take on the role of the sheep to pitch VanMoof, the innovative Dutch bicycle company aiming to get a billion people on bikes. Our unique approach involves controlling every aspect of production and distribution, which has led to a surge in demand during the pandemic. However, to reach our ambitious goal, we need investment to expand globally and introduce a more affordable bike model. While Yara supports the idea with conditions, Alex raises concerns about customer feedback and scaling challenges. Tune in to hear the lively debate and discover if VanMoof can secure the funding needed for its next big leap. As always, we welcome your suggestions for future episodes on LinkedIn or Twitter. aff09a90-1f6e-11f0-8edc-c70d047ce45d
