In an interview on the platform for high-tech startups Venturelab, Peter confirms something that we were already starting to presume in Hemex; Scailyte is developing rapidly. “However, the learning curve has been and still is extremely steep – as the start-up develops rapidly, so do I, and that is really exciting”.
As a founder and CEO, Peter faces a lot of challenges in his daily activities, but he always had the interest to be involved in multiple initiatives. “I managed a student NGO during my studies and organized numerous international meetings, so I had some basis when I decided to become the CEO of a startup”. It is exactly this transition to become the CEO of a company like Scailyte that has given Peter the skills to succeed as an entrepreneur.
The path of an entrepreneur is sometimes harsh. Peter states that surrounding yourself with a smart and experienced team is necessary. “What helps me a lot is the support and coaching I receive from more experienced entrepreneurs and experts from various industries”.
We at Hemex are thrilled to work with vibrant start-ups like Scailyte. Our slogan “Your Ideas. Our Expertise. One Goal.” reflects that we support the start-ups to achieve a common goal, to efficiently combine the smart ideas of entrepreneurs like Peter Nestorov, with our bench-to-market expertise in order to improve patients’ lives.
