Happy Birthday Tricefy đź’ž

Today our amazing baby, Tricefy turns ten years old! This is an incredibly special day for me. Ten years ago we launched Tricefy. It is amazing to be celebrating the last decade in business with my fantastic co-founders Ă…sa Nordgren and Martin Westin. The journey began in 2009 with our first version of Tricefy, that was called Mobile Baby (see attached press-release and articles, May 14, 2009). Reflecting back on Trice’s history, I’m glad we didn’t know how difficult it…

Closing Out 2018

Closing Out 2018

  Thank you 2018 for all the tough lessons. This year made me stronger and wiser. 2018 was by far my most challenging year to date, and also the year that I have grown the most. Trice started this year with a mega crash. Literally, on New Years Eve morning, we were given cards that would set the tone for the year.  The first quarter we solely focused on cleaning up. At the same time, my personal life was giving…

Scaling Is As Painful As Becoming A Teenager Again

Scaling Is As Painful As Becoming A Teenager Again

During the fall of 2016, we started seeing real growth and we were excited to be over the hump. Hitting product/market fit meant that we had built something of value. We had it. People were buying it. They were loving it. And now, our job was to scale it. At first thought it was “easy peasy”, and looking back, scaling is by far the hardest thing we have done to date.  Scaling is not a simple task, but a very…
