Episode One – Going Global

In our first episode Alex Klein, Co-Founder and CEO of Kano, and Asi Sharabi, Co-Founder and CEO of Lost My Name, discuss the challenges they faced in taking their company global.

Kano (now on our Future Fifty programme having graduated from Upscale) ship their ‘make your own’ computer kits to over 40 countries worldwide and Lost My Name (also on Future Fifty) also send their products worldwide, translating their personalised storytelling product to 11 different languages. But it wasn’t a walk in the park.
