The reason I say John Stewart is, fake news, very underrated in the beginning. I didn’t realize this was going to be the set today. In terms of what best represents our platform, I came up with John Stewart, which is very appropriate for the set. I agonized over this question, Narinder, a ridiculous amount of time. It is the longest name on the poster today I want you to know. I’d love to hear what you came up with out of that. I said, “What’s the name, movie, or person that represents your platform and what you think about the world?” I started off by asking, you guys are in three of the leading platforms in the industry. The rest of it we’re going to just wing it.
I gave them one question that I told them I was going to ask. I’m curious to see if anyone’s brave enough to actually undertake. In fact, I think in addition to your drinks there will be some shots coming out. I’m hoping to do that today with you guys. It also, for this panel, means I’m very good at using alcohol to extract information. I think I have the best ratio in the industry. It’s a moderating.” I’m like, “I really don’t understand what’s going on.” I thought about it and I said, “Over the past nine years at Appirio I have bought people over 100,000 drinks and consumed zero in that period of time.” I’m really excited and privileged to be here today with April, Ilya, and Neeracha from three of the pioneer companies in the industry to talk about platforms.Īs we were coming up here Jason was like, “It’s a bar theme. Hopefully some of you have already started. Narinder Singh : Welcome everybody to your final panel before your drinks begin for the evening.
And be sure to grab your tickets to the 2017 Annual NOW. If you want to see more sessions from 2016, we’re releasing a new one each week. And most importantly, the answer to your burning question,”What’s the name, movie, or person that represents your platform and what you think about the world?”
They also offer up a healthy reality check on what you should expect as a platform partner. The insights on how each of these companies became a platform and the business goals behind those decisions are pretty compelling. Neeracha Taychakhoonavudh, SVP of Partner Programs at Salesforce, Ilya Fushman, General Partner at Index Ventures and formerly of Dropbox, and April Underwood, VP of Product at Slack delve into how you can build the right platform strategy, thinking about the problems that it aims to solve, and whether or not your product should even be a platform (like maybe don’t call yourself a platform without understanding what it truly means to be one). We were pretty excited to bring together four industry powerhouses to discuss platforms in this amazing session led by the always charming Narinder Singh, co-founder of Appirio.
