Product and Markets
summary
Company bets on smartphones in 2011 and waits — product-market fit shows up after about three to four years, and the company IPOs 366 days ago. Built a vertically integrated, real-time stream processor that ingests edge events and responds in milliseconds, not by nightly batch. Launched an early four-channel MVP (email, push, in‑app, news feed) to solve customer relationships, not single-channel plumbing. Growth strategy emphasizes measured capital use to avoid the “burn bright and fold” trap while markets mature.
