Pioneers of Europe: Jitse Groen 🇳🇱
Founder of Takeaway.com and the guy who made hangover resting easy
Read Time: 2.30 Minutes
This is 'Pioneers of Europe' from the Jupiter Dispatch, the monthly feature highlighting european entrepreneurs, exciting startups, and stories of the greats from the old continent.
If you ever want to see what’s the difference between average execution vs. great execution and how this can turn out in an overcrowded industry like bike deliveries.
And if you want to name great execution, then try Jitse Groen.
My personal opinion is that it’s really hard to “ride” in a unicorn valuation with food and bikes.
But Jitse and his Takeaway empire maybe proofed me wrong. Maybe nearly everyone of used or is using his services from time to time, especially with a hangover.
Doesn’t matter where in Europe you from. Thanks to an aggressive acquisition strategy the Takeaway Group owns a lot of the biggest delivery brands around the old continent.
But the Jitse’s bold style in getting shares of the market, plus slim and fast operating processes, makes Takeaway to one of Europe’s “FANG”-Companies.
So here is a Podcast with Jitse, where he is talking about the ideas he is following to build a world leading delivery platform which actually makes money. (listen how he talks about his german competition in particular 🙃)
So have fun and listen to one of Europe’s most impressive founders…
We’re done. Feel free to comment below. I will answer.
