How do you build a business on top of the Github API? What are the technical challenges of serving big enterprise with your SasS? What would you do if Github wanted to acquire your business?
Ryan Rauh joins us today to answer these questions.
Ryan built HuBoard, a project management solution for teams and organizations using Github. He gives us an inside look at how he created HuBoard, how he made the transition from free service to paid users, the technical challenges of getting set up to handle enterprise, and more.
"Any SasS business... it's a slow linear growth until you hit that thing that makes you do that exponential bell curve, and then everybody uses it." -- Ryan Rauh (27:33)
