Online Event: How We Bootstrapped Our Way To 20+ Paying Customers In 12 Months

Stories from the Agile & Lean Business Strategy Trenches

We are excited to host Mike Keating and Ben Ihle, who are co-founders of attract.ai.

Attract.ai is a startup that is working to transform the way businesses think about hiring. Mike & Ben will be talking about how they approach product development as a bootstrapped startup.

• how they got here (Minimal Viable Product (MVP -> Today's Product). The good, the bad, the ugly
• examples of product feature implementation from ideation to customer usage
• prioritising MTTR over MTTF & continuous deployment
• zero (or minimal) software product testing
• how their approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved over time

MTTR - Mean Time To Repair: Amount of time required to repair a system and restore it to full functionality
MTTF - Mean Time To Failure: Length of time that an item is expected to last in operation until it fails (used for non-repairable systems).

Below are two articles that can give you a taste of what attract.ai is about:
