From OSS Hobby To $1m+ Hosted Platform with Snipe-IT

Lightbend

In this podcast, our special guest is Alison Gianotto, aka [at]snipeyhead on Twitter. Alison is the CEO and founder of Grokability, the company behind Snipe-IT, which is a free as well as hosted solution for managing the where, when, and what of a company’s physical assets. Today we’re talking about going from an open source hobby to a hosted platform with a global client base and increasing revenues, and hopefully touch on other topics like using social networks for business, the implications of serverless as an industry trend, and questions we’re tired of answering repeatedly.
