On the 9th of September 2024, our CEO Jos Lazet was interviewed by Lars Crama from Up!Rotterdam. In collaboration with the municipality of Rotterdam, Up!Rotterdam supports about 200 active scale-ups with access to investors, talent, and new markets.

In the podcast, Lars Crama regularly speaks with founders of promising scale-ups from the Rotterdam and Delft region. The conversations are not only about the companies themselves but also about the challenges of scaling up, such as attracting talent, finding investors, and tapping into new markets.

Our CEO Jos enthusiastically talks about his first encounter with Bitcoin and how Blockrise has further developed. There is extensive discussion about future developments in blockchain technology, including the new EU-wide MiCA Regulation. Jos also shares his vision for Blockrise's future: evolving into a private bank with Bitcoin at its core.

Lars addresses various listener questions about Blockrise's challenges in an engaging manner. The podcast concludes with a music track of Jos's choice. All in all, the Start to Scale podcast is definitely worth a listen! You can find the link to the podcast at the bottom of this page.
