Resonate is back in Reykjavik! Scaling a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product from a localized market to a global stage presents a multitude of challenges. Sales and marketing are some of the obvious ones, but what many do not anticipate are the changes required to the product itself 💡. In the new competitive landscape, companies need to pinpoint the underserved needs of their target customers and tailor their product functionalities to precisely meet those needs.

I'm on my way to the Energiamessut conference in Tampere and in the meantime SnowlyCode, s.r.o. is posting our experiences from the Smart region in Olomouc. The question is what is more important, a big (international) conference or a small local event? My answer is: both! In our case it is quite clear because we are presenting 2 projects for completely different target markets, but even if we only have one project I believe that presence at local events is very important. What do you think about it?

At Guestsnhost, we're leveraging a product-led growth approach on our platform. By offering free tools, we ensure that event hosts can seamlessly handle their events and scale at their own pace. Our free event websites allow hosts to centralize all event details in one place, while our guest management system provides a streamlined way to send digital invitations and track RSVPs. These features help us bring value early on and allow hosts to transition into more advanced, paid tools as their needs grow and also allow access to a wide range of booking options that guests would need. Many successful companies use a similar approach. Take The Knot and Zola, for example. Both startups leverage free tools, while their main revenue streams come from premium services like gift registries and advanced event tool features. At Guestsnhost, our goal is to empower event hosts with the right tools to grow, scale, and succeed whether through free or premium offerings. Exciting times ahead as we continue to provide solutions that make event hosting easier and more efficient! #ProductLedGrowth #TechStartup #EventManagement #Guestsnhost #FreeTools #PaidTools #EventPlanning #ProductGrowth #TheKnot #Zola

Ever wondered what else can a event/conference give you than good vibes? We thought about it too after attending conferences of every sizes!

Everyone remembers what they were doing during Covid-19. That was certainly the best 'spring weather' in Paris for the last 10 years and I was wearing my mythical Kolsquare I B Corp™ cap in my hammock, waiting for Business to come back. I had met Quentin Bordage a few weeks before and he wanted me to be the next Chief Revenue Officer at Kolsquare I B Corp™ 🏉 I discovered a visionary, determined and caring CEO. The guy keeps on inspiring me in my current role. 🤙 I embarked the roller coaster journey with great peers Alexis KLAHR, Mathieu Thomé, Ronny Pouvreau, Xavier Lernould, Clémence Falewée Bréard 🦊 I had the chance to lead a team composed of amazing talents Julien SCHAAF, Alix Dumarest, Maëva Picault, Samuel Zenou, Antoine DELOBEL, Mehdi Jouahri, Camille Legendre, Elisa Cornic (just to name a few). 📈 As they have joined team.blue yesterday, it marks the end of my 5 years journey with Kolsquare I B Corp™ (2 as an employee and 3 as an investor) but I am incredibly proud of having been part of it. The company had 10 clients when I joined end of 2019. It became French then European leader of #InfluencerMarketing platforms with 800 clients in 30+ countries. Please note this is just a starter for those guys... who will keep on aiming for the moon and reaching their greatest potential 🏔 #Entrepreneurship #SaaS #MarketingTech
