Really excited about our upcoming "Grouper" release that is going into QA this week. we have augmented our telemetry collection to provide metrics based on data source. This will give fine-grained visibility into how different data providers are contributing to productized API delivery. Stay tuned for more updates #monetization #metering #apis #observability #datamonetization

Business tasks I automated to save time, effort and cash and make sure the service was a great experience for my clients: 1. Onboarding once someone bought one of our programs *that sounds like one process, but Included: - Contracts being sent for signing with reminders if necessary - Payment collection and receipt delivery - Welcome email with explanation of what to expect as their next steps so they feel taken care of, welcomed and assured that they’ve spent money well - Login detail delivery to the membership area and clear instructions where to start, what comes next, and how to get support - Client’s first 1:1 session booked, details of the session and reminders sent - An intake form so everyone has clear records on the client to refer back to - with reminders if the client didn’t complete it This whole thing happened by pushing a single button. Then I automated: 2. 80% of delivery (I could work 10 hours per week and still bank $40K/month) 3. A process for nurturing every lead that came through the business - getting them ready to buy 4. Lead follow up to keep adding value and bringing them further into our world 5. Session booking with appropriate forms so the team coach had details before the call to prepare well 6. Client check-ins so we ensured everyone was happy multiple times through the journey so they felt cared for and we could ensure satisfaction These saved approximately a fuck load of time and boring repetitive tasks that I’d otherwise have to do or pay someone to do. I’m gonna show you how I did this on day 2 of my upcoming online training. DM coach if you’d like to do the same in your business.

HITRUST chose Vanta as the first pre-built HITRUST e1 solution, which means Vanta comes "out of the box" with the necessary controls, documents, and policies for an e1 assessment and eliminates the manual “do-it-yourself” approach that other platforms require. Up to 80% of requirements are automated by: *️⃣ Guidance around requirements: 44 new controls and 72 automated tests to ensure comprehensive and continuous compliance. *️⃣ Documents and policy templates: 80 new documents and 10 policy addendums to outline practices around managing sensitive data. *️⃣ Automated evidence collection: With over 300 integrations, Vanta automatically and continuously collects evidence from an organization’s technology stack. Our platform also applies overlapping, implemented controls from other supported frameworks, including up to 50% of SOC 2 and ISO 27001, to eliminate duplicative work across compliance programs. Coming soon, our partnership with HITRUST will expand into an integration with their audit portal, MyCSF, so customer evidence is transfered automatically from Vanta to MyCSF, further streamlining the HITRUST validation process Really excited for this collaboration!

Offshore -> Code is built inside the company, but the teams can't collaborate due to timezones. Quality issues. Outsourcing -> Code is build outside the company, and there's little collaboration (mostly only speak with a PM) Nearshore -> Code is built inside the company, and all developers work together in the same timezone Go Nearshore

When we started Hoop as a remotely distributed company, there were a lot of best practices we brought over from our experience at Trello. We already knew how to recruit and hire a remote team. We knew what it took to have a great distributed culture. We understood how important documentation and communication were from the first day, and we didn't need to do reinvent the wheel for this part of the business because we already had a blueprint. Lots of companies have been figuring out remote and hybrid work these last few years and getting experiences they haven't had before. When executives from these companies go on to start their own businesses, they'll be able to copy/paste best practices as well so there will be a whole breed of new companies that are distributed first. A lot of the growing pains and challenges many companies have been having with building distributed teams come from the fact that the executives trying to replicate best practices weren't building from a distributed first blueprint. That's going to change with the generation of startups that originated in 2020 and beyond. #startups #founderlife #remoteteams

The conventional advice for building horizontal products is to choose a single vertical and expand one by one 👀 Yet within the first 6 months of launching our SDK generator, we built support for 7 languages: Python, TypeScript, Terraform, C#, Ruby, Java, and PHP. With only 4 FT engineers at the time, was this the right decision for the business? Here’s what we learned: *️⃣ Building so many language targets in a short period of time really pressure tested our generation capabilities. We built a platform that was flexible and easy to develop on because we HAD to. *️⃣ We figured out how to access expertise from language communities that we were non-native to. For example, we’re not native PHP developers, so we’re working with people like 🤓 Steve McDougall who know the languages inside & out to keep us on the right path. *️⃣ Perhaps most importantly, we listened to our customers. Companies in different industries need different languages. C# is very important in Fintech. Most people are not interested in a Terraform provider. But for anyone whose API is considered infrastructure by their users, Terraform is critical. Focusing on breadth over depth drove early momentum for us and accelerated us into customer conversations. Each language took a good amount of time from a small team. But rapid experimentation helped us quickly validate which industries had specific language demands as well as which industries needed a bit more education on the value of SDKs. Was every language we built worth it? Head to our platform to start generating SDKs and decide for yourself! Link in the comments 👇 #sdks #langauges #api #pmf

Mauricio Jorajuría, one of our Senior Software Engineers, shared an anecdote that really resonated with me: "A professor once told me, if you don't know how to design something, start with the idea of someone you admire and who is recognized." I would choose Dieter Rams and highly recommend his book: "Ten Principles for Good Design." When it comes to mobile 📲 , simplicity is key. Over 50% of global internet traffic comes from mobile devices (Statista). Aim for a clean, uncluttered interface that allows users to accomplish their goals with minimal taps or swipes. Remember, 85% of adults think that a company's mobile website should be as good or better than its desktop website (Think with Google). Building a community around your product can greatly enhance the user experience. Create forums or social media groups where users can share tips, feedback, and success stories. This not only provides valuable insights for continuous improvement but also encourages user engagement through creative collaboration. Ensure the community is moderated to maintain a positive and constructive environment. Why put so much effort into the UX/UI of a digital solution? Engaged customers can generate 23% 📈 more revenue than average (Harvard Business Review). https://rb.gy/rd47l1 - https://rb.gy/05wqmy - https://rb.gy/8s2pdg #UXDesign #UIDesign #MobileDesign #CommunityBuilding #ProductDevelopment #DieterRams
