Two successful CXO breakfast events are in the books with @OxxVC ✅ Yesterday in Stockholm and this morning in Helsinki.
The theme was "Building your business for capital efficiency", and there were great discussions on growth vs profitability, metrics, and building the team.

In our latest blog post, Artis boldly addresses the harsh reality of #VC math and the extreme expectations for #startups to attain outstanding growth and exceptional outcomes.
