Scaling without the playbook: Lessons from Lieferando & Talon.One

Most founders build for hyper-specific use cases, surround themselves with traditional boards, and hire junior talent to save costs. Christoph Gerber did the opposite and built category-defining companies like Lieferando and Talon.One.

In this keynote, Christoph shares the unconventional leadership principles that helped him, including:

Why avoiding a traditional board created space for sharper product decisions

How solving use cases too early can cap your growth, and what to do instead

The impact of hiring experienced talent from the start

Why 8 focused hours of work a day is enough

This is a session for founders and leaders ready to build differently, think longer-term, and scale smarter.
