A group of experienced European tech leaders hopes to mentor a new generation of entrepreneurs.
Mr Apotheker still wishes he could have had a sympathetic guide to share concerns with when he ran SAP. "There were a lot of decisions I struggled with at SAP and I wish I could have talked with someone who'd been there before me, someone I could bounce ideas off."
Yet Mr Apotheker values the ability to ask penetrating questions in an industry with its fair share of fraudulent ventures such as Theranos, the Silicon Valley start-up whose founder"I am of mixed German/French heritage and I can be cynical and sceptical but I turn that to an advantage." "I believe Europeans have a great talent pool but it's fragmented. We're 1,000 miles across while Silicon Valley is 40 miles long." He founded Boardwave on his kitchen table in 2022 and it now has 800 members, chief executives and founders across Europe.Start-ups registered with Boardwave can connect with these mentors. Boardwave aims to shepherd them towards the critical stage of £100m turnover when they can spread their wings on the international stage.
