Training
Guldmann Inc.
• Established in 1998 in Atlanta, Georgia in a very
modest office across the street from a major
potential customer.
• Staff of two - one American and one Danish
trainee
• Very little demand for our solutions
• No market shares what so ever…
• A firm belief in the possibilities and a good deal of
naivety (bumblebee syndrome)
10
Guldmann Inc
• After a long, expensive, troublesome,
challenging, frustrating and sometimes
scary period of learning by doing, we
finally managed to gain enough critical
mass for accelerating the growth
sometime around 2004
