1ļøāƒ£ From startup to scaleup: The story of Pipedrive engineering

Pipedrive’s story is unique. We began as a typical startup and grew into a mature company focusing on efficiency and standardization. We’ll dive into how we moved through the different stages of growth and where exactly we invested in engineering during our 13 years as a company.

Speaker: Marten Meikop, director of engineering at Pipedrive

Marten started his career in programming in 1999, and with his solid technical background, has spent the past seven years building Pipedrive’s engineering platform team. He’s also a mind sports lover who founded the Estonian Mind Sports Federation and vint.ee. You can find him on LinkedIn.

2ļøāƒ£ Fast, agile and product-driven: How engineers are fuelling Bolt’s success in Micromobility and Drive

Bolt’s success story is driven by engineers. Discover how it enabled its small teams to scale quickly and built its internal startups Micromobility and Drive.

Speaker: Viacheslav Nechyporenko, engineering manager at Bolt

Bolt engineering manager Viacheslav joined as the company’s sixth engineer in 2016. Since then, he’s been crucial in building the foundation of ride-hailing and Bolt’s Micromobility and Drive products. Viacheslav is a proud father, an NBA fan and an occasional poet in his free time. You can find Viacheslav on LinkedIn.
