Episode Synopsis
Episode 2 of Startups with Seoul with Chris Chae of Relate CRM. Hosted by Chang Kim and Aviram Jenik of Rabbit Ventures.
Main takeaways:
1. On Pivoting and Finding Market Fit:
"We actually pivoted five or six times during the course of our journey so far. It was a full pivot too, like it's not like, should we try this feature or that feature, it was more like an entirely different kind of business every single time."
2. On Building for a Global Market:
"If you're looking to go global, I mean, like, you got to be global. There's no way you will build a SaaS product that millions of people will use globally if you don't build global features."
3. On Learning and Growing as a Founder:
"If I had that experience under my belt, then I would know what works and what doesn't work right off the bat. And that's an important thing to have as an experience as a founder, you know, trying to move faster and trying to build products and sell to customers within the limitations of your runway."
