In-Between Time is a podcast about the phase of entrepreneurship nobody talks about — the time between ventures. Host Henrik Werdelin (BarkBox, Prehype) has candid, often walking conversations with founders, builders, and the occasional psychologist about what happens when something ends and the next thing hasn't started yet. The identity crisis. The restlessness. The question everyone keeps asking: "So what are you working on now?" No playbooks. Just honest conversations about navigating uncertainty — and eventually figuring out what comes next.

    They started before they had an idea - and built one of Europe’s leading fintechs | with Jeppe Rindom, Co-founder Pleo

    Jeppe Rindom, co-founder and CEO of Pleo, joins Henrik for a walk through Copenhagen — starting at the cheap shared office where it all began, ending at the restaurant where Jeppe first convinced his co-founder Nico to move back from California and build something together. It's a surprisingly unglamorous story. They incorporated a company called "The Company of February 3rd, 2015" before they had a name or an idea, spent a few weeks on payroll software before deciding it was the most boring thing in the world, and onboarded 70 customers in a single day before having to call most of them back and ask them to leave.They also cover: Why you don't need the idea before you start What it actually costs to build a company — financially and personally How they expanded from Denmark to the UK, Germany and Sweden Why Europe struggles to produce global companies and whether that's changing What the first 15 employees meant to the culture Pleo has today How Jeppe thinks about AI and the next generation of founders Pleo: pleo.com Prehype: prehype.com 00:00 Copenhagen & The Beginning of Pleo01:34 Starting Without an Idea03:33 The First Pivot04:53 Why Most People Never Start06:02 Raising Money Early07:42 When It Almost Ended10:18 Luck vs Momentum12:41 Finding the Real Problem15:45 Validating with Customers19:00 First Breakthrough21:03 Growth Feels Like Chaos26:06 Scaling & Expanding to London29:27 The Reality of Being a Founder35:14 Building & Scaling in Europe41:06 Culture, Co-Founders & Full Circle Read the full transcript:

    Should we be optimistic about how AI will affect the world economy? | Henrik Werdelin on Future Around & Find Out

    This episode originally appeared on Dan Blumberg’s podcast “Future Around & Find Out”, where Henrik joined as a guest. In this conversation, Henrik Werdelin and Dan Blumberg explore how AI could reshape entrepreneurship and the broader economy. Henrik shares a “pitch for positivity”, arguing that we also have a responsibility to focus on what could go right, not just what could go wrong. They discuss how AI can lower the barriers to starting a business, potentially leading to a more distributed form of value creation. A key theme is “relationship capital” — the idea that trust and connection between founders and customers will become an increasingly important competitive advantage. They also cover: Why founders should start with problems, not ideas The “it sucks that…” method for identifying meaningful problems How AI can help entrepreneurs get unstuck The idea of “minimum viable agents” Lessons from past technologies and how they shaped work and society Henrik also shares how he uses AI in his own workflows, from summarizing information to building personal tools, and reflects on the skills that matter most for future entrepreneurs.

  8. Building a new business from within a large one: How Ryder built the Airbnb for commercial trucks.

    Building a new business from within a large one: How Ryder built the Airbnb for commercial trucks.

    Building a new business from scratch is hard under any circumstance - adding the complexity of doing it inside a company can be daunting. Through our work at prehype we meet internal entrepreneurs who are attempting to build these new businesses from within a company -  this podcast series aims to capture what they did and what they learned.  In this episode, we sit down with Romain Rousseau who is one of the co-founders of COOP by Ryder. COOP is the attempt at creating an “Airbnb for trucks” - as in creating a marketplace for underutilized truck capacity. Romain is also the Group Director of Digital Innovation at Ryder, a Miami Heat (and Lakers) fan and based in Miami, Florida, although originally from France.    We discuss the origins of COOP by Ryder, what initially enabled Romain to start - and what were key factors for him and the team to test and scale the new business. Romain will share his thoughts in how he built the team from within, how they chose to validate their idea and how they approached the supply & demand dynamics of their marketplace.
