European SaaS is emerging both in quality and quantity as e.g. the impressive number of participants at SaaStock showed.
One of the coolest SaaS startups in Europe is Algolia, the search API. And during SaaStock16 there was the opportunity to interview Nicolas Dessaigne, CO-founder and CEO.
Nicolas has been so nice to sit down with me after a long conference day to talk about the latest in European SaaS and his company and him as founder.
The interview includes the ...
story of Algolia
the pivot and the Seedcamp and Y-Combinator experience
choosing/finding investors
the position and the business model of a SaaS startup standing up against a big player like Google in search.
the question of marketing challenges of an API based SaaS solution?
and many more.
A big thanks to Nicolas Dessaigne for his time.
