Kurt Daniel is a software and SAS executive with experience at Microsoft, Parallels and others, and who was pivotal in helping to build, lead and scale three startups now worth $35 billion.
Kurt talks about his incredible experiences in business building, and the strategies he’s employed to achieve multiple billion-dollar valuations.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
When using a freemium model, it’s best to keep it limited. If you make it too generous and then take it away then people may lose trust in you.
A common mistake that founders make when trying to scale from one million to ten million in revenue is that they launch a second product too early.
The key differentiation points between companies flooded with demand and those who aren’t are the problem being solved, the usability, approachability.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I like product and marketing led’
‘I would be disappointed to work for a company that just sold to very large enterprises’
‘You need a product that’s very usable’
‘Startups are risky. Some will fail and some will not’
