A Masterclass on the Services to Product Pivot 💪| Nishant Patel @ Contentstack
A Patel's journey of building a near-unicorn Saas business in the US!
In this week’s episode of Founder Thesis, I interviewed Nishant Patel, Founder & CTO of Content Stack, the revolutionary headless CMS platform that's changing the way businesses manage content across multiple channels.
ContentStack is one of the hottest Saas companies around, and they have raised ~$180 million dollars till date and are at a near unicorn valuation 🚀
Nishant takes us through his entrepreneurial journey which started off by building an IT services company out of India serving US clients.
But unlike other IT services companies, that company actually created 3 game changing products within it, the biggest of which was ContentStack.
What I loved about this episode:
🔑 Learning from failure: How the dot-com bust shaped Nishant’s entrepreneurial path.
📈 Customer-first innovation: Why listening to feedback is the key to scaling.
👥 Building a winning team: How the right people make all the difference.
⚡️ Bootstrapping and Raising Funds: After spending a decade bootstrapping, why Nishant decided to raise funds
This one’s packed with lessons for any entrepreneur or tech enthusiast. Make sure you don’t miss it!
