Ryan - the english guy we met at last night of Raga - linkedin
His background: Built a mobile app portfolio company - spent 10 years on it. Got it to a group of 25 apps collectively doing 8m ARR. Recently sold 80% of the apps & is now working on re-focussing - he wants to build something with the potential to be much bigger long term.
They seem like they had a super solid team. He shared a pitch deck they use to on-board their creators - link, and the system they built for onboarding creators and managing large amounts of videos, built on Airtable, which looked very thorough.
He also spoke about financing & liquidity - longer term they want to use the data to be able to offer financing to businesses, and to build a marketplace to buy & sell apps. Frankly seems like a lot to do well, but that's their play.
Their current focus is building a new product called Fload. In his words, it hooks up to all your systems and does 2 things: 1. Gives you a single place for dashboards & analytics, 2. Alerts you when metrics are moving in the wrong direction. We ran out of time but he asked that we do another call (with Faith) where he can onboard us & show us the product.
