I’ve recently had the privileged to run a webinar with Lars Buch, Partner MENA & Russia at Rainmaking. Prior to joining Rainmaking, Lar’s spent more than 10 years working at Nokia, heading Smartphones R&D at Nokia DK. When the company ramped down, Lars headed the incubation program called the Bridge, funding and supporting almost 300 new ex-employee driven companies. This is his story: — Every day we wake up to the sad news of another company announcing massive reductions to its workforce, the OECD expects 80 million people to lose their jobs by the end of the year.
