The Original Corporate Giant: Inside the Dutch East India Company
Before Amazon, Apple, or even Wall Street, there was the Dutch East India Company—arguably the first mega-corporation in history. In this episode, we dive into how a 17th-century trading empire became the blueprint for modern business. From issuing the world’s first stocks to mastering global supply chains, this is more than a history lesson—it’s a crash course in capitalism. What can today’s entrepreneurs learn from the VOC’s rise…and its collapse? Tune in to find out.
