Vandaag in de podcast: Bartjan Leyts, founder van Otamiser – het bedrijf dat hotels en hosts helpt om hoger te ranken op Booking, Airbnb en Expedia. Hij vertelt hoe een toevallig B&B-experiment uitgroeide tot een serieuze SaaS business, en waarom ze hun eerste jaar met duct tape aan elkaar plakten. We praten over bootstrappen, funding ophalen, en het lef om een hele categorie te creëren. Bartjan deelt open over de overgang van chaos naar structuur, zijn visie op Gen Z-leiderschap en hoe flexibiliteit de sleutel is tot performance.

We thank the participants for their time.

Over the last few years, a host of new CTRM solutions have emerged as SaaS in the cloud (indeed, we talked to some of these providers in the previous CTRMRadio episode).

Episode 405 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Ed Jennings, CEO of Quickbase.

The terms 'narrow' and 'growth' seem to contradict each other, yet in Ed’s mind, the two concepts go hand-in-hand. Based on his experience, true scaling doesn't always mean adding new products or wildly expanding into new industries.

It can be a huge challenge to say "no" to new opportunities when the goal is increased revenue. But as Ed explains, the key to sustainable success is to look deeply at your core customer and double down on your core value. This focus is what helps you win and retain customers—a factor often overlooked, but insanely important for long-term growth.

Quickbase is the AI operations platform used by more than 12,000 organizations worldwide to transform ordinary work into extraordinary impact. Combining powerful AI capabilities and the flexibility and ease of low code/no code technology, Quickbase boosts productivity, improves efficiency, and enhances employee safety for organizations managing large-scale projects and operations in industries like construction and manufacturing.
