Build Further Claap

Today, we speak to Christophe Pasquier, the CEO and Co-Founder of Slite, a modern knowledge base that helps you escape the chaos of information overload. In 2016, Christophe founded Slite and joined Y Combinator's Winter 2018 investment batch. Since then they have raised more than 15M$ with incredible investors such as Spark Capital and Index Ventures, to serve tens of thousands of teams every month and scale a remote-first team spread across twelve countries.
In our conversation, Christophe explains exactly what those early investment days looked like, the struggles of chasing your dream without millions of dollars to lean on, and being thrown into competition with one of the most popular wiki products in the world. We also get to hear what went into creating Ask, Slite’s built-in AI assistant trying to help every team find information faster. Christopher’s enthusiasm and excitement when it comes to what the future of work might look like is so inspiring and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

You can hear more from Christophe at his LinkedIn, and head to Slite's website to hear more from them.

In this episode we get to speak to Ignasi Buch Mundo, the Head of Product Growth over at Pitch. In this episode we get to speak to Ignasi Buch Mundo, the Head of Product Growth over at Pitch. Starting out as a data and product analyst, he soon moved into data science at Typeform where he climbed up the ranks and became a senior product manager for their growth department. After three and a half years there he joined Pitch as their Head of Product Growth. Now, his expertise in Product Led Growth have made him the perfect match for a tool that exploded onto the market right when it needed to. 
Pitch launched only five years ago in 2018 and now has nearly 200 employees and $140 million in funding. The team of eight co-founders behind pitch put together a remote team just a year or so before the pandemic and have now become trailblazers for a new movement of productivity products that are reinventing and inspiring the ways we work. Pitch allows people to make stunning presentations with ease. Their strong branding and constantly evolving product have established them as an essential tool for teams that need to communicate at scale. Ignasi’s role here is to keep things moving. If the product doesn’t keep evolving, their audience isn’t going to grow. In our conversation, Ignasi goes into detail exactly how he approaches a product that’s already so versatile, how his global team communicates with each other, and what other product teams need to do to emulate this kind of growth. I learned a lot from this one and I hope you do too.

You can follow Ignasi on his Linkedin, and get started with Pitch here.

In our fifth episode we get to hear what goes into making Revolut for businesses from their Head of Product, Pierre Cahuzac. After starting out as a business intelligence and financial analyst for companies like 123Venture and Criteo, he pivoted to focus on product and now leads the Revolut for Business team, taking care of more than 200,000 customers and collaborating with the team behind one of the biggest market disruptors ever.
Revolut launched in 2015 and started out as a platform to make transfers and exchange various currencies solely in the UK. They quickly expanded to a global market after a funding round of $800 million, becoming a full fledged unicorn. After years of being categorised as an e-bank, in 2022 they became a full-fledged bank, launching in even more countries and partnering with thousands of businesses around the world to provide faster, simpler options to people in a market that seemed impenetrable only years before. Pierre takes us inside this organisation and explains how he keeps their business product competitive and unmatchable. I hope you enjoy it.
