Abstract
Herbert Gartner gives insights into the successful “option creation strategy” performed by him and his co-founders. Starting up a fast growing high-tech business means managing and driving hundreds of variables at the same time. In order to make the right business decisions it was always important to have options and alternatives. Continuous and active creation of such opportunities, options and alternatives in all business areas was a key success factor e.g. for finding the right investors, for recovering lost key customers, for big purchasing decisions, for recruitment and finally for closing the deal with the right exit partner.
