We got a chance to sit down with Mårten Mickos, an entrepreneur who’s passion is leadership and entrepreneurialism, and have an insightful conversation around our FallUp topics; entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial mindset and the importance of failure and dreams. 

Mårten Mickos is the CEO of Hackerone and the former CEO of MySQL and Eucalyptus Systems. He has been running startups most of his life and is “passionate about entrepreneurialism, disruptive business models, distributed teams, collaborative models and leadership.” In the interview we tackled the difficulty of learning from failures, the importance of dreaming and embracing your weaknesses, as well as the three things that are needed to succeed as an entrepreneur.
