Building an accounting startup with Fred de la compta, Acasi & Chaintrust
Accounting changed the world forever both when it was “invented” in Mesopotamia & when it became a double-entry system 500 years ago. Today, the profession of accountant & the practice itself are again undergoing major revolutions - revolutions that startups are initiating ⏱️
Looking at what is currently happening in the accounting world, we may automatically think that the profession of “accountant” is dying: The number of accountants has decreased by 25% in just the last 15 years.
This “threat” is enabled by new technologies that are shifting everything within the space. Cloud, AI, blockchain & data are changing the game. But total automation is still very far away. And obviously, in such an ancient & symbolic sector, the opportunities are infinite. And we have a few examples of startups who are ready to seize them!
Scale your tech team from 0 to Series A
By Robin Choy (https://twitter.com/robin_choy), CEO at HireSweet (https://www.hiresweet.com/)
This is definitely one of the biggest challenges any startup faces. Having high quality engineers who join your company in the early days, taking a risk on you while more mature companies are also chasing them can truly be game-changer.
Robin is the co-founder of HireSweet, a team helping startups recruit Software Engineers by developing cutting-edge AI tools. 700+ startups have scaled their teams with their help, often from 10 to 100+ people. The knowledge Robin has acquired about the process is pure gold. Join us to discover how to set up a super efficient process to build the best possible tech team for each stage (0 to 3 people in the tech team, 3 to 8 people, 8 to 20 people).

Jean-Baptiste knows this topic particularly well as his company, Sqreen, the tool democratizing security and making it easier to implement & use for developers, has a large tech team that represents a big part of Sqreen’s workforce.

10 Engineering Lessons Moving From a Startup To a Global Scaleup by Paul Schu...
At The Family, we believe that anyone can become a great entrepreneur. Find more info here: http://www.thefamily.co/
By Paul Schulz (https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulschulz/)
We are super excited to welcome mastermind Paul Schulz CPTO at Perkbox, ex-Head of Mobile Technology at Yahoo!, at The Family, who shared with us 10 engineering lessons moving from a startup to a rapidly growing global scale-up.
Paul has over 27 years of experience in the tech industry, 17 of which have been as a CTO. He has worked for companies such as Nokia, Yahoo! and also created an industry-leading Open Source video advertising product called Open Video Ads, acquired by JWPlayer. Most recently, he has been operating as CTO for very early stage tech companies in London.
Successful ventures move rapidly from the state of startup to scale-up. Often, founders neglect to prepare technically for the scaling phase when building a business in the early days. The mistakes made early on can severely limit the ability of a company to meet demand and grow rapidly during the most critical time of its life.
Paul shared his incredible experiences in helping ventures move from start-up to scale-up.
At Perkbox, he helped the Product and Engineering team grow from a small team creating and supporting one product for one market, to a larger team developing four products across 3 markets.
Perkbox is Europe’s fastest-growing employee experience platform aimed to enrich employees’ experiences. They have helped over 600’000 employees and some of their customers include Deliveroo, OpenTable, NHS, Wasabi, Rentalcars.com, and so on!
Building Products On An Evolving Platform w/ Rahma Javed, Director Enginee...
Often times, young founders are handling competing constraints and various challenges in parallel:
While building products, they are dealing with parallel challenges of changing infrastructure, scaling teams, regulatory constraints, external dependencies, and launch deadlines.
We are super excited to welcome mastermind Rahma Javed, Director of Engineering at Deliveroo (ex Wealthfront) at The Family!
In this video, she covers lessons learned from those particular situations during her time at tech startups in Silicon Valley and at Deliveroo.
She has dealt with multiple challenges -- building new consumer products with regulatory restraints, external dependencies, building a team from scratch, strict launch timelines, and doing this all while the underlying infrastructure was changing.
Rahma is the Director of Engineering for Restaurants group at Deliveroo where she focusses on helping Deliveroo becoming the best partner for its restaurants and driving growth and profitability for restaurants.
Prior to this, she was a senior engineering leader at Wealthfront where she led initial products which generated an alternate revenue stream and was the company’s first foray into cash products. Additionally, she’s also focussed on automation by building a risk platform from scratch.
Originally from Canada, she has worked at startups as well as at larger corporations like Microsoft (wherein she was working in the Windows team) as well as IBM Canada and Blackberry.
The new wave of coding schools Ada Tech School, O’clock & Colori
By Dario Spagnolo, CEO at O’clock (https://oclock.io/),
Chloé Hermary, CEO at Ada Tech School (https://ada-school.com/) &
Perrine Legal, Director at Colori (https://www.colori.education/)
Knowing how to code is probably the skill of the century. Still, today most developers are young males, which substantially impacts both how the cards are distributed in this age & how tech is built
Fortunately, there are new actors trying to reverse this by creating inventive learning paths. After the boom of Codecademy, Le Wagon, Iron Hack and 42, a new generation is coming: more inclusive, more accessible, so that anyone can learn how to code.
Representatives of this generation were with us for a unique event on coding schools. Each brought their own perspective and reveal their secrets on how to teach code online, to women or to kids.
Krish subramanian building & scaling a subscription business
Wouldn’t it be great if, instead of having to fight, hunt, and practically beg for each new sale, you could set up a business in such a way that all your customers paid you regularly, time and time again? Well, you can—that’s the beauty of offering a subscription service.
The subscription business model has grown hugely in popularity in recent years. Covering everything from music to meals, it seems like there is a subscription service for just about anything. But what are the do’s and the don’ts in B2B and B2C subscription based models?
To answer these questions, invited the incredible Krish Subramanian, Co-Founder and CEO of Chargebee, who joined us at The Family to share his expertise around subscription models!
Krish started Chargebee with three of his friends in a room in one of their apartments in Chennai, India in June 2011. Now they have 10,000 customers.
He shared some amazing insights into the B2B subscription world and how he had to continue to define Chargebee's product roadmap as they were trying to build a valuable billing system for the modern business users.

How To Scale Your Product Through Experimentation w/ Milena Court, Product Ma...
A detrimental mistake many startups do is neglecting product experimentation. They focus mainly on experimentation in marketing - optimising ads, copy, creatives, landing pages - because it's relatively easy to do. But this kind of negligence is extremely damaging for your success!
But why don't more startups do this then?
EARLY-STAGE - Specific challenges:
-No budget: “proper” testing tools quite expensive
-Little data to play with
-Not sure what to experiment on / what moves the metrics
massively?
-No time; need to focus on the business
GROWTH STAGE - Specific challenges:
-More budget now, but limited by free tools
-More data about what's happening but not really sure why it's
happening
-So many ideas and opportunities, how to prioritise?
SCALING STAGE - Specific challenges:
-All tools in place, but now constrained by tech time: experiments
need to be “bigger” to have impact + are competing with other
projects
-Harder to experiment with the core product, the company is
branching out on other products
-Experimentation becomes scarier: more users, more to lose,
users get used to things being a certain way (“Why did they
change the UI again?”)
Milena Court, Product Manager in the Growth Squad at Tails.com, joined us at The Family to share her incredible expertise and explain how to overcome the above challenges!
Prioritising Everything: Making Decisions When Nothing Makes Sense w/ John Si...
The convention in startupland is that moving fast, putting in the energy, time and work are the guiding principles that yield results - and ultimately growth. While these are key factors in how we prioritise experiments and make decisions, there's one element missing - direction. What's often ignored in the prioritisation process are the vectors of velocity, momentum, and lift as they relate to how we decide what to do next.
Choosing the 'right' thing to experiment on
-Litmus tests for understanding the health of users
-Strategies for product scoping, and growth
-Arriving to the right metrics
Being comfortable with change
-Knowing team and what brings them energy
-The evolution of processes over time
-Growing product, team, culture, and community in flux
Coming to conclusions and the next choice
-Reflection and retrospectives
-Learning to say "No" or, "Not right now"
-Picking the next thing to work/experiment on
John Sirisuth, Head of Growth at OurPath, joined us at The Family to share his early insights on leading Growth, prioritising experiments, and creating a company culture where Growth is all-hands-on-deck.

How To Scale Your Product Through Experimentation w/ Milena Court, Product Ma...
A detrimental mistake many startups do is neglecting product experimentation. They focus mainly on experimentation in marketing - optimising ads, copy, creatives, landing pages - because it's relatively easy to do. But this kind of negligence is extremely damaging for your success!
But why don't more startups do this then?
EARLY-STAGE - Specific challenges:
-No budget: “proper” testing tools quite expensive
-Little data to play with
-Not sure what to experiment on / what moves the metrics
massively?
-No time; need to focus on the business
GROWTH STAGE - Specific challenges:
-More budget now, but limited by free tools
-More data about what's happening but not really sure why it's
happening
-So many ideas and opportunities, how to prioritise?
SCALING STAGE - Specific challenges:
-All tools in place, but now constrained by tech time: experiments
need to be “bigger” to have impact + are competing with other
projects
-Harder to experiment with the core product, the company is
branching out on other products
-Experimentation becomes scarier: more users, more to lose,
users get used to things being a certain way (“Why did they
change the UI again?”)
Milena Court, Product Manager in the Growth Squad at Tails.com, joined us at The Family to share her incredible expertise and explain how to overcome the above challenges!
Prioritising Everything: Making Decisions When Nothing Makes Sense w/ John Si...
The convention in startupland is that moving fast, putting in the energy, time and work are the guiding principles that yield results - and ultimately growth. While these are key factors in how we prioritise experiments and make decisions, there's one element missing - direction. What's often ignored in the prioritisation process are the vectors of velocity, momentum, and lift as they relate to how we decide what to do next.
Choosing the 'right' thing to experiment on
-Litmus tests for understanding the health of users
-Strategies for product scoping, and growth
-Arriving to the right metrics
Being comfortable with change
-Knowing team and what brings them energy
-The evolution of processes over time
-Growing product, team, culture, and community in flux
Coming to conclusions and the next choice
-Reflection and retrospectives
-Learning to say "No" or, "Not right now"
-Picking the next thing to work/experiment on
John Sirisuth, Head of Growth at OurPath, joined us at The Family to share his early insights on leading Growth, prioritising experiments, and creating a company culture where Growth is all-hands-on-deck.
