Two years ago, Macromo was just an idea, fueled by a small but dedicated team. Our beginnings were humble: with countless weekend hours and just a handful of believers who saw the potential. Well, we are the proof that, with the right amount of hard work, things can change!
Fast forward to today, we have doubled in size, not just in numbers but in ambition and impact.
This Monday, we had the first Macromo Investors Day, where we presented the latest company updates. My colleagues Petr Štěpánek, Barbora Hamerníková, Kornel Dubieniecki, Tereza Texlova, Michal Pohludka, and I, all participated in the keynote. This presentation was followed up by a panel discussion with Petr Kasa and Pavel Hrobon, who spoke about the future of healthcare.
Of course, we could have sent a regular investor update via email. So why did we decide to turn it into a full-blown event?
We wanted to create a more memorable experience for both, our investors and our team. It also served as an artificial deadline for ourselves ⏱️. Elon Musk often holds similar events to put more positive pressure on the team. After this experience, I have to say that it works! We were able to focus on the right things more, and we delivered exactly what we had planned.
We made sure to let different team members present to showcase how experienced our team is. From day one, I have been a strong believer that employees should share the spotlight with the founders. Because at the end of the day, they are the ones who are on the front lines every day. 👩💼 This leads to them having a greater insight into every detail.
Moreover, we made sure to encourage networking between all of the people, mainly because our team members rarely meet the investors and vice versa. 🤝 Knowing people personally is one of the things missing in today’s hybrid/remote world, and we were glad to be able to change this situation a little bit.
Macromo Investors Day was a celebration of all we have achieved so far and during this year in particular, so it felt like an ideal closure for 2023. And with that, I want to say thank you to everybody who is helping us along the way. We have an ambitious plan for the next year and many more after that, so I hope you stick around to see what we will be up to!
Happy holidays and I’ll see you in 2024,
Eva
