Markus Witte, co-founder of Hyve, left the corporate world after 20 years to start his own business. Here's what he learned and what he recommends to every missional entrepreneur...
Startup or corporate business? Markus Witte knows both. For more than 20 years, he had worked in large corporations as a product manager. He innovated, met with CEOs and CFOs and used large assets to push the enterprise forward. But then he got the call to leave this safe environment and start his own business from scratch. Markus eventually joined Jesse and a few others, and together they founded Hyve.
A corporate business with millions of dollars in revenue looks like a better deal, compared to a startup that struggles to acquire customers. But there are pros and cons in both cases. Markus Witte explains why we might want to leave the corporate world to start our own missional business - and also why (maybe) not. He gives us practical takeaways and shares his personal journey of how God convicted him to leave a billion-dollar company.
