How a bot solved the pain of scheduling
Today’s guest started a company with the understanding that it’s hard for people to schedule meetings with each other. So he did what many people did before, which is he created an app, together with two friends.
And like many people before them, the app that they created didn’t do so well. Then they turned it into a bot, and boom, the thing took off! Until it didn’t. That’s when they sold it. This interview is about how the idea came up , how they figured out what would work, why it didn’t go huge, and how they sold it at the last minute and made it into a success.
Today’s interview is with Matty Mariansky. He is the co-founder of Meekan. Meekan is a scheduling application that makes it easy for people to book meetings with each other.
