The Scale-Focused Founder

📍 Copenhagen, Denmark🎂 37 years💰 €140,000/year (€1.2M agency revenue)

Overview

Lena is on day 11 of her YoBert trial. Her team loves it, ROI is proven (12 hours saved this week), and she's ready to buy but comparing pricing plans. She's the quality control bottleneck and needs to scale her team's writing ability.

  • Guilty when working evenings = missing daughter's bedtime
