Most software companies don’t make it to 10 years. CoreMedia turns 30 this month  🚀 To mark the occasion, I’ll be sharing a series of 6 articles — starting with the early days and the lessons that shaped how we built the company. Looking back, a few things stand out. Some learned the hard way, some by accident but all still relevant today. From building without a roadmap to letting go of what we once believed in, these early experiences continue to shape how we think and operate. I’ve put together 5 learnings from founding CoreMedia and how they still apply today, especially as our industry continues to evolve. Curious what 30 years of building teaches you? After reading the first article, I’d love to hear your perspective — what’s the hardest “darling” you’ve had to kill in your business? Big shout-out to my co-founders - Florian Matthes, Andreas Gawecki and the late Jochen Schmidt and our first customer dpa Deutsche Presse-Agentur GmbH with Christoph Dernbach and Meinolf Ellers for putting so much trust in me at an early age. Thank you for your friendship! #CoreMedia #CelebrateCoreMedia
