#101 A business perspective on Ukraine. What does BEETROOT do?

In 101 episode of Good Morning BSS World podcast, my special guest is Andreas Flodström - CEO and Founder of Beetroot Company and Beetroot Academy.

This episode is co-organized with IT Ukraine Association and as usual we start the talk by discussing the Ukrainian IT industry overview.

The main goal of this episode is to go deeper into Beetroot company and find out who they are and what do they do.

In our talk we focus on Beetroot's global operations, and its focus on emerging tech sectors. We also discuss Beetroot's company culture and ideal employee profile, as well as the concept and future plans of Beetroot Academy.

Enjoy!

 

Key points from the talk:

  • Beetroot, a company with a presence in Ukraine, focuses on providing software development services with an emphasis on impact, working with clients from over 25 countries, primarily in the Nordics, UK, and US, in industries like climate tech, edtech, and healthtech.
  • Beetroot Academy, an educational arm of the company, has educated around 12,000 people, aiming to help individuals enter the tech industry with practical skills, and now also offers upskilling opportunities for companies with a focus on emerging technologies like generative AI.
  • Despite the challenges posed by the war in Ukraine, Beetroot has shown resilience by expanding its global presence with offices in countries like Poland, Bulgaria, and Vietnam, and has plans for future growth that include potentially starting a venture arm and scaling educational initiatives to new regions.
