Roundtable Recap: February 11 – Plug Your Knowledge Gaps In Methodology ASAP

During this week’s roundtable, we had five entrepreneurs spanning Israel, Italy and India.

Bontact
First up, Baruch Kogan from Bnei Brak, Israel, pitched Bontact, a live customer support wizard that is designed to power SMB web sites with live chat, WhatsApp, and other messaging app based instant support. My read: SMB owners and CEOs need to make decisions on their operational ability to provide this level of support. It is not an ‘insert a piece of technology’ decision. Good news, the company has a few hundred paying customers, mainly Wix users. Much to learn from them. The customer acquisition strategy needs work, especially to get in front of the economic decision makers.

292nd Roundtable Recording On Feb. 4, 2016: With Raj De Datta, CEO of BloomReach

Roundtable Recap: February 4 – Bootstrap First, Raise Money Later with Raj De Datta, CEO of BloomReach

During this week’s roundtable, we had as our guest Raj De Datta, co-founder and CEO of e-commerce personalization technology firm, BloomReach. The company bootstrapped to over $5M in revenue before raising its first financing from Sequoia. Today, it is well on its way to become a publicly traded company in a couple of years. Raj spoke of sensible fundamentals as opposed to irrational exuberance around Unicorn mania.

Synthagile
As for the pitches, first up, Sreekanth Puram from Fremont, CA, pitched Synthagile, an open source integration platform. The company has about $300k of revenue, but needs a serious positioning exercise to scale. I believe that nuggets of its positioning are already there in the customer use cases. It needs to be drawn out and articulated.
