Episode highlights:

“If you want to build a short term business, the culture is not so important. But if you go the Jeff Bezos way, with a 20+ years old business, then the culture thing and your cultural footprint are like a cornerstone for the business you build.” - Bartosz Skwarczek

“We took on our first Head of Sales in Jan 2008, so it was unfortunate timing, but during that period we were able to perfect the product in the absence of having to service lots of customers.” - Tony Connolly

“As you're servicing or helping customers build software products, you're very close to the problem. You’re talking to the customers every single day about the problems that they're having, and then you can think about solutions using the new tech at that time.” - Nishant Patel

“Only the third most important thing is your original idea for solving a problem, because that idea will change 1000 times if you have the right team to solve it. But you have to be in love with the problem you're trying to solve, and the problem you're trying to solve has to be meaningful.” - Peter Holten Muhlmann

“I think corporations or key public governments and so on, don't have that much money to give back anymore, someone has to give back. And I think companies do it. And we should thank them for it.” - Kenneth Bérard
