What does it take to go from zero to exit in three years? Darleen Warda is here to tell you exactly that.

In this session, Darleen shares her story: from entering Berlin Startup Stipendium and gaining her first clients, to scaling Cleverlohn to hundreds of customers and ultimately exiting to a strategic investor—all in just three years after joining the program.
