You can write anything in the formula. But we make sure that we always keep revisiting it. One of the points people will notice when they read the formula is to \u2018pick up the phone\u2019. Nobody solves problems by email. To add to that, we have a culture where people are empowered to personally contribute, and where career paths are unfixed.

One of the difficult things to overcome at the beginning of your journey is that you need volume in payment. And when you just start with your business, you don&#8217;t have it. So you&#8217;re not relevant in the market. And if you&#8217;re not relevant, then it&#8217;s very difficult to get a merchant on board. Breaking through that problem is what took us time. And then a few years after 2011, we started to build a point of sale because we thought it&#8217;s great to provide payments for internet companies.<\/p>\n<p>We also saw that a lot of internet companies, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coolblue.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CoolBlue<\/a>, moved to physical stores, which was unexpected at that time.

After selling Bibit, I stayed in the company for another two years, and as a result I had to run it under the umbrella of a larger company that made all sorts of decisions that I wouldn&#8217;t personally make.<\/p>\n<p>So when you start again with another company, you are very keen on not selling it. This implies that the decisions you take should be very different. Building something to keep, is like restoring a car. If you restore a car to sell it, the paint has to be great and the motor has to be running. But if you think you&#8217;re going to do 200,000 miles yourself and you know you have a ton of problems hidden in the car, you will eventually encounter them yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly with Adyen, all the problems we have ever had in the business model, we encountered them ourselves at some point.

Because if it\u2019s simple, it\u2019s easier for us to control it. So therefore we never made an acquisition. We only run one system. We only have engineers that are educated in the languages we use within the company. So we wanted to have a very simple relationship with our investors too &#8211; and simple for me means that if the current shareholders gain, the new shareholders gain too. And vice-versa.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, in an investment round the new investors get liquidation preferences. So if the company hits a rough patch, then a shareholder with liquidation preferences might be tempted to sell their shares even when the offer is low, as they have their minimum return secured. And that&#8217;s really bad for the entrepreneurs and the older shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>We said there is always a risk and return. So we make the risk a little higher for investors and it\u2019s up to investors to price it. This is how we approached our first investment round with the first big VC. We don\u2019t want to give board seats because we are building a large company. And if you build a large company, you know that at a certain point, you will need an independent board. So we didn\u2019t want to give anything other than common shares.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-q2v9k-e46695ca614e010e180a52207c8df672\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-q2v9k-e46695ca614e010e180a52207c8df672{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-q2v9k-e46695ca614e010e180a52207c8df672 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-44  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-sx9zs-1e0083110ddf7e5e0709385555b2d30e\">\n.avia-section.av-sx9zs-1e0083110ddf7e5e0709385555b2d30e{\nbackground-color:#e3e3e3;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='quote-section'  class='avia-section av-sx9zs-1e0083110ddf7e5e0709385555b2d30e alternate_color avia-section-large avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-45  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-848'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-kg3vs-988125a3575e9b2a59f4572f9f041088 sc-av_one_half av-equal-height-column-flextable'><div  class='flex_column av-kg3vs-988125a3575e9b2a59f4572f9f041088 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-46  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first no_margin flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lqdrmogf-8eab1589cf96e28962da930d57681b84\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lqdrmogf-8eab1589cf96e28962da930d57681b84 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lqdrmogf-8eab1589cf96e28962da930d57681b84 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lqdrmogf-8eab1589cf96e28962da930d57681b84 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-47  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-4236 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-4236 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Adyen-5-500x500.webp\" alt='' title='Adyen 5'  height=\"500\" width=\"500\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Adyen-5-500x500.webp 500w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Adyen-5-80x80.webp 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1lql4-fb6bb46a7429853beb0a433489590514\">\n.flex_column.av-1lql4-fb6bb46a7429853beb0a433489590514{\npadding:30px 40px 40px 90px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1lql4-fb6bb46a7429853beb0a433489590514 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-48  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  no_margin flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lqdrmwyf-03f1f8666a83d2bd7b07525e9abdfae7\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lqdrmwyf-03f1f8666a83d2bd7b07525e9abdfae7{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lqdrmwyf-03f1f8666a83d2bd7b07525e9abdfae7 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lqdrmwyf-03f1f8666a83d2bd7b07525e9abdfae7 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lqdrmwyf-03f1f8666a83d2bd7b07525e9abdfae7 av-special-heading-h4 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-49  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  quotation'><h4 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >My advice to other companies would be &#8211; run a few scenarios when it comes to your investment strategy and make sure you are comfortable with it as a founder.<\/h4><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-asqhc-79d779f4f93434d5ee8de8b1c33d73f1 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock quote-bottom'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-family: maison-mono;color: #ff8000\">Pieter van der Does, Founder of Adyen<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
