I had two choices: start my own business right away or join something very early-stage. I found people who were full of passion and energy with a vision to challenge convention and have an impact in the world, and I was hooked and decided that entrepreneurship was the right direction for me. I always wanted to have a life and a career that excited me, and during my exchange semester in Sydney, Australia I was first exposed to start-up culture back in 2013. So, why did I choose N26 and what happened in those 9 years? I’ll outline my journey with some of the key learnings along the way. I joined as an “Entrepreneur in Residence” directly after finishing my international business degree. We were a team of seven people, in the middle of a business pivot, had just raised 1.5m seed funding, and were still six months away from onboarding our first customer. However, when I joined the company 9 years ago, we had none of that.
N26 has continuously pushed the boundaries to build the first bank you'll love, with the vision to change the world's relationship with money for the better. Today, N26 is well known as a pioneer in the fintech and digital banking space, with a 1500 strong team and over 8m customers across 24 markets. With this article, I want to share some of my reflections and learnings, and how my hands-on experience turning a small scale-startup into a global bank led me to embark on my own venture. Today I announced that after almost a decade at N26, Europe's leading digital bank, I will be embarking on my own entrepreneurial journey.
