Every product starts with a problem that needs solving. But how to choose the right one? Many founders struggle with this decision. Execution is everything, but it wont turn a shitty idea into a good one. If you need some help with your startup idea, this meetup is for you. You'll learn how to clearly define a viable problem: is it a real pain? Is this problem bigger every day? Is it easy to understand? Etc.

Real estate is everywhere. It’s part of our daily lives, of who we are and how we live, move, work - a pretty broad category.

They now define themselves as an ecosystem that brings together cash registration + delivery + reservation + pre-order + analysis + integrations. They are not only addressing shopkeepers, but also passionate local entrepreneurs.

A new breed of CTO - Philippe Vimard, CTO & COO at Doctolib
By Philippe Vimard (https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippev...), CTO & COO at Doctolib (https://www.doctolib.fr/)
There’s probably no need to introduce Doctolib, one of France’s newest unicorns after raising €150M a few months ago. Philippe has been their new COO & CTO for the past year after occupying a similar role at eDreams (GoVoyages, Opodo, Travellink, Liligo).

✅ Total quality & tracking from A to Z

5 lessons from our journey to revolutionize last-mile delivery
By Sébastien Tronel, Cofounder at Trusk (https://trusk.com/)
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).
Onboarding developers and setting them up for success
By Jean-Baptiste Aviat (https://twitter.com/jbaviat), CTO at Sqreen (https://www.sqreen.com/)
Hiring developers is definitely hard, but that's only the beginning of the journey - you’re far from being done. Your next job as an employer is to make sure they have all the keys in hand to make the most out of their jobs.
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. Let's find out together how to build that within a fast-moving organisation, with constantly evolving teams and complex technical products at stake!

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!
