What's the point of getting big?
Appster grew. Fast. Very fast. Then it failed.
In this interview with Appster CFO Mahesh Gupta you will learn:-
· Why it’s important that your CFO has influence in your decision making - Appster didn't. Their CFO was in India and whilst technically competent and could see the writing on the wall, failed to mentor the business through the troubled waters ahead.
· What reports founders Mark McDonald and Josiah Humphrey received to make sure their company was growing and performing properly
· Why the decrease in Australian Property prices reduced Appster's potential client pool
· The differences between the cash flow you can expect from startup and enterprise clients
· Why you should price in how long it takes for your customers to make decisions whilst being serviced
· Why bloody hard work, 18 hour days and genius marketing lead to Appsters growth.
