Going from single consultant to building a world known company!
Think like an enterprise from the start is Ståle Hansens advice. When we first got in touch with Ståle he was working by himself, and now he is the founder of a 10 people company.
And they became so popular along their scaling journey (check of their Social media profiles) that they are often referred to as the rockstars of the Microsoft community.

What makes Cloudway an inspiring Company?
“CloudWay are the rockstars of the Microsoft Community.” That’s the statement Digitalfeet has picked up while working with other partners. CloudWay is a bunch of thought leaders, and they are all MVPs (Most Valuable Professional) year after year.
All of them have lots of followers on social channels. They are always nominated for the top Microsoft awards. They are also co-authoring books, and they traveled around the world all year round to speak at events. Yes, you could say they were the geeky versions of rockstars.
Don’t get fooled by the size of 7 people. CloudWay is often chosen on big, important projects both in the public and private sectors.
