See all- Building Flomation: A Fireside Chat with Andy EsserThat Beer Place, Chester
We have Andy Esser in the hot seat to talk about Flomation, his new product that’s almost ready to launch. In this fireside chat, we’ll dig into how the idea came about, the architecture behind it (both software and hosting), and what the build process looked like from first sketch to working system.
We’ll also chat about how Flomation became a business—drawing some comparisons to Andy’s earlier startup, Haia. Expect a mix of technical insight, honest reflections, and a few stories from the trenches of product development.
