A startup focused on creating a sustainable model for the Christmas tree market. The original purpose of this business was to rent Christmas trees in a pot to consumers and businesses and by lowering the yearly cost and making it a more sustainable solution, it would be a win-win for everyone. I learned that seasonable businesses are hard to scale and this one even more due to a complicated logistics model. Due to my involvement in Rockstart, I decided to sell the inventory and customer base to a competitor in the Danish market in mid-2012.

I was hired to execute on a trial project to get more ambassadors at universities for the yearly collection of aid by going door to door. They were seeking to promote the yearly collection on every relevant college and university programme in the Greater Copenhagen area. Part of the assignment was to give 20 lectures plus coordinating more lectures for other ambassadors.
