Aage, a serial entrepreneur and investor with experience in over 15 startups, is currently leading the pivot of Zaplify. In this Voices & Choices feature, he shares his insights on what makes an effective employee onboarding process, along with his favorite apps, career tips and the use of AI.
While I value the energy of working alongside the team in the office, my current schedule allows me to work remotely one day a week.
Admittedly, I will be seen as biased now but our NextGen Zaplify is a killer app for tech startups CEO and founders - not yet on the market. Saves me a ton of time managing all the key connections and conversations I have with Investors and customers. On a private note, I love Sveriges Radios app.
While AI is the core of everything we do here, I personally encourage everyone to experiment with existing tools like ChatGPT and Claude. You might be surprised by the 'aha moments' you discover!
My computer and phone - Slack, and the new Zaplify.
Looking back, I wish I had told young Aage to not go-all-in every time.
I'm very flexible with hardware, but prefer to keep the core software stack simple.
To ensure early success and contribute to the team quickly, new hires should be fully onboarded (hardware and software) upon arrival. This allows them to focus entirely on their main task for at least a week or two.
