Thank you to everybody who made this book possible. Carlye, it's been fantastic working with you, and quite the journey since we met the first time in Dumbo. Karen Murphy, John Maas, Mark Karmendy, and company from Jossey-Bass/Wiley, thanks for supporting this book so wholeheartedly. Kristi Hein, thank you for your edit and enthusiasm. Thank you, Matt Hicks, for everything on the PR and marketing side. And thank you, Bob, Toke, Jesse, and Paul, for the amazing cover. Nice work.
There would have been no story without my two cofounders, Morten and Alex. Thanks for your trust in me telling our story. You make me look great.
There would have been no company without our very early investors. Thanks, Devdutt, Matt, and Peter. And there would not have been that great company we are today without our later-stage investors. Thanks, Dana, for giving us a big push leading our Series C. You've been an amazing partner and board member. Thanks, Sathish, Giuseppe, and Glen for doing our D round. You guys have shown outstanding commitment, dedication, and trust.
I today have a fantastic board, which besides Peter, Devdutt, and Dana also includes Betsey Nelson, Caryn Marooney, and Michelle Wilson. I'm so proud of our board dynamics and so grateful to have a board team that always makes me want to do better.
Thanks, Christoph, for your early blind trust in us. The startup world is a better place with you in it.
Many thanks to our many early family and friend investors. You took a big bet on us, and against all odds it paid off.
Thank you to the entire team. It's very humbling to see how hard you work on making this company successful. I will work very hard to make sure that we make it fully worth the while. Also a big thank-you to your families. I know how many sacrifices you make for the sake of Zendesk, and I know how hard that can be on the family life. I hope also for them that this journey will ultimately be worth the while.
And finally, thank you to my own family and my wife Mie. Thank you for supporting me in this whole endeavor and for allowing me sometimes to put job before family. Jeg elsker dig, din møgtøs.
