"Eight years ago, I founded ForkOn, a B2B software telematics startup. Over this half-decade, I have experienced all the highs and lows of being a founder—both professionally and personally.
Through seven funding rounds, I raised over 4 million euros from investors, made many mistakes, and sometimes learned from them to grow both personally and professionally. Today, ForkOn is the market leader in forklift fleet management, and we have equipped thousands of forklifts with our solution."
