  The development team was small, the software was promising and the challenges were huge. Only the sky was the limit.This period gave a lot of opportunities for how to set up a team. I started adopting an agile way of working, using tools to make sure people could focus on their job. I also created the fundamentals of how to make a pleasant work environment, how to behave as a team, but in the meantime how to be compliant and to act as a real “company” without losing touch with the real world.UgenTec won most promising KMO Unizo Limburg 2016, most disruptive innovator 2016 for Deloitte and various other awards.keywords: agile, startup, .NET, Azure and healthcare
