Jan Henric Buettner: Why a $10B Founder Came Back to Build a Chess Startup at 60 | DSH #1640

So ideally trying to do different things, not all the same things.

So it's not going to be something that I'm going to do for 10 years as an executive.

I'm going to hand over the torch to somebody in the next maybe 12 months even and then concentrate on my executive chairman role

and more being an oversight position rather than an executive running position.

But at least right now, putting it up and really bringing everything that I have in my mind for this to the road is very important.

So seven times seven.

Digital Social Hour
Jan Henric Buettner: Why a $10B Founder Came Back to Build a Chess Startup at 60 | DSH #1640

So you're saying seven periods of seven years?

Digital Social Hour
Jan Henric Buettner: Why a $10B Founder Came Back to Build a Chess Startup at 60 | DSH #1640

Yeah, that's my theory and that's what I wrote in my little booklet about it.

Digital Social Hour
Jan Henric Buettner: Why a $10B Founder Came Back to Build a Chess Startup at 60 | DSH #1640

It's basically, let's say the first 3-7 years you need to become a serious person, till 21.

So there's a lot of things going on then.

Jan Henric Buettner: Why a $10B Founder Came Back to Build a Chess Startup at 60 | DSH #1640

Then you have like 7 times 7, so like 49 or 50 years, where you can be really active.

And then when you're 70, you have maybe 3 or 4 other periods of 7 years where you can basically chill.

Digital Social Hour
Jan Henric Buettner: Why a $10B Founder Came Back to Build a Chess Startup at 60 | DSH #1640

That's my basic idea.

And so why the seven years is for me is like a number which I think is for me applied a lot because I did every seven years I did something completely new, like starting from mobile communication to online service, venture capital, you know, being a resort developer and so on and so on.
