-
- Entrepreneurship
In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Honey Mittal, CEO of Locofy.ai, a design-to-code platform that’s raised $3 Million in funding, about why this critical phase in the process of bringing software to market remains one of a contemporary startup’s most acute pain points, and how an automated solution can help us all build better, faster and more efficiently. There’s no doubt that developers are one of the toughest product audiences out there, with no kind words for sub-par software solutions, so even a cursory look at some of Locofy.ai’s big-name clients makes it clear that they’re on to a winning idea.
We also spoke about Honey’s experiences in the Southeast Asian tech sector, how the unique regional circumstances helped foster a more global perspective on the contemporary tech sector, why design-to-code just makes sense as a software solution, but only for those who can really get the product right, and how online developer communities provide a lot of opportunities to grow, learn, and improve a product offering.
Topics Discussed:
Honey’s career in the Southeast Asian tech sector, and what we can learn from this strategic region about contemporary concerns in the industry.
How a decade in tech laid the foundations for Honey to found Locofy.ai, and why it was design-to-code that became their software offering
Why making the leap from innovative design to actionable code remains one of the modern startup economy’s most significant stumbling blocks, and how Locofy.ai plans to bridge the gap
The current state of the software development sector, and why a shortage of engineers is reaching crisis point
Why developers are one of the toughest audiences in tech, with no kind words for sub-par software solutions
How Locofy.ai learned to work with online developer communities, and how it helped them develop a more market-ready product
