At the age of 13, David started developing an interest in programming as a result of online gaming activities. That’s how he managed to have a small side income in the following years. When he was 16 David started working as an accountant for Deloitte, but after 2 years he realized that accountancy is not going to be his future career path and since then he became an entrepreneur. In 2013 he founded Nyon/Fashion Cloud, a buying tool for retailers in the fashion and shoe industry, that also developed into a platform that allows brands and retailers to work together by sharing data and eliminating inefficient manual labor.    What we talk about ????: [1:11] How his childhood shaped his path [4:43] How David discovered programming at the age of 13 [5:38] How he ended up working for Deloitte when he was 16 [9:42] Lessons learned during his early entrepreneurial career [15:04] How to find a business idea [16:36] How to get customers to finance your idea   [19:32] Challenges at the start of Nyon/Fashion Cloud [23:44] The moment the vision for his company developed [25:16] Problems after the merger of Nyon and Fashion Cloud [32:49] Activities that helped the integration [34:24] Scary personal decision [40:32] Hard business decision [43:45] Learnings about company valuations [45:13] Key takeaway   Contact ????:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/d-schaap/ Website: https://fashion.cloud It would mean so much to me if you subscribe to my YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/2WWNG6A    For more follow:   INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/2Hb0uiV LINKEDIN: http://bit.ly/3bmQ6lW
