I'm talking to Dirk Fehse, founder and CEO of PaulCamper, Europe's leading marketplace for RV rentals.
Many of us have probably daydreamed about spending a few weeks on the road in an RV. Just get in the van, and park it wherever you want, and that's your home for the night. Dirk loved this too, and so much that he founded a company around it. It's a wonderful story, driven by passion, and started out really lean, as you will hear.
We talk about:
- How PaulCamper got started
- How Dirk built it piece by piece
- How they keep quality under control
- The quite remarkable way how they use insurance as an anti-disintermediation tool
- And how much work Dirk needed to do to get this insurance product into existence.
