AUTHORS
This playbook is designed by Arta Citko, the Founder of Happy Playbooks in collaboration with one of the coolest Founders from Estonia - Kaidi Ruusalepp, the Founder of Funderbeam.
Arta about how it all started:
"I saw Kaidi’s inspiring speech at the startup conference Latitude59 in Tallinn, Estonia on May 25th, 2018. I immediately fell in love with her message and I saw how her message can be turned into a playbook. The structure of her speech, the topics was exactly like chapters of a book — the vision, the mindset, the team, the network. And the energy and passion she shared it with, moved me. A big part of her message was about letting the kids in. So that they can observe the mind of the company, how things are done, how teams work, how effort looks like. It was clear that she had something bigger to share with the world and I had an idea how to do it with a playbook!"
Here are both of us, the proud authors, after the Foundership Playshop for kids at the Funderbeam office in Tallinn, Estonia in July 2018.
