"How to make 30 million to come to your website? And then we reached 300 million, and then 3 billion. We used to reorganize the company every month until we became more stable. Don't be a stubborn jerk - quit after reaching 10x in 1 year" #giphy #Slush19

"Talk about not only your product but also the market, trends, research, etc. Show what your intentions are - why are you approaching a journalist? Do you want investment, talents or just more followers? Hype causes the situation when wrong startups get funded" #Slush19

"If merchants were asking for it, we would definitely start using #blockchain. But that's not what they want - they want fast transactions. Speed is a central element for us. Plus regulators require #KYC that again blockchain cannot help with" #adyen #Slush19

"Banks cannot catch up with the needs of merchants. That's why this is a market that can have many different players. Successful companies will inspire others to do so. Over-regulation could get in the way though."- Pieter van der Does, Founder & CEO of Adyen at #Slush19

The way we see offices won't exist in the future. Remote or distributed work, more creative spaces, smaller offices for smaller working groups, less face-to-face meetings - that's the future. #Slush19
