During my second year in Highschool I started a Young Enterprise (Ung företagsverksamhet) with 3 of my classmates. The company was named GlutenBox and the business idea was to offer a box with gluten free products that was not sold in your everyday grocery store. The box was meant to help people with a gluten free diet find new brands and products. 

GlutenBox was an instant success! The company broke even just 4 hours after launching and became the highest grossing YE-company. At the end of the year we had a revenue of over 160 000 kr. We placed 2nd in the national YE competition category “YE-company of the year”.  Additionally, we won Young Enterprise competitions in following categories: YE-pitch of the year (Local level), Highest revenue (Local level) and Digital presence of the year (Regional level) 

I learned a lot during my YE year. It has given me experience in how a company runs in all areas. We experienced the most typical “assignments” such as purchasing, accounting, customer service, marketing and much more. However we also got to experience some more unique events for a YE-company, such as crisis management, influencer marketing and PR.
