Jeppe has a broad professional background with a career that started in the tobacco industry at British American Tobacco (BAT), a MSc in Business Administration from Copenhagen Business School (CBS), and extended stays in both Germany and China. Like so many others, Jeppe did not find happiness in a large corporate, and followed his calling towards the startup world. This first led to the popular off-grid event series called The Hut, which met its end during the covid-19 lockdowns. Jeppe then joined the international venture studio, Rainmaking, as CMO of the Nordic region&#039;s largest recruitment platform for startups, The Hub. Since the fall of 2021, Jeppe has been a central figure in the construction of Factofly, which, with growth from 0 to +13,000 users, is at the top of the Nordic startup scene.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jepperasmussen\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.factofly.com\/en\/blog\/author\/jeppefactofly-com\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.factofly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19568"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.factofly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.factofly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.factofly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/321"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.factofly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19568"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/www.factofly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19568\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23606,"href":"https:\/\/www.factofly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19568\/revisions\/23606"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.factofly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.factofly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.factofly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.factofly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
