Extra Crunch roundup: Selling SaaS to developers, cracking YC after 13 tries, all about Expensify

 Before Twilio had a market cap approaching $56 billion and more than 200,000 customers, the cloud-communications platform developed a secret sauce to fuel its growth: a developer-focused model that dispensed with traditional marketing rules. Software companies that sell directly to end users share a simple framework for managing growth that leverages discoverability, desirability and do-ability — the “aha!” moment where a consumer is able to incorporate a new product into their workflow. Data show that traditional marketing doesn’t work on developers, and it’s not because they’re impervious to a sales pitch. Builders just want reliable tools that are easy to use. https://saldogratispoker.com/showthread.php?tid=153553&pid=1008419 https://amantespastoraleman.com/foro/showthread.php?tid=132 http://forum.naronanews.com/showthread.php?tid=3004 http://www.crazyrpg.wh1.pl/showthread.php?tid=6407&pid=14980 https://ninerp.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=39062 https://crackingthat.com/sho

His big idea centered on creating an historical record to speed along “consensus,” which is how decisions are made on blockchains, which are themselves peer-to-peer systems. https://kamera.al/showthread.php?tid=679 https://www.mac-it.ch/forum/showthread.php?tid=199884 http://mybb.ciudadhive.com/showthread.php?tid=23879&pid=68155 https://therockandduckshow.net/showthread.php?tid=50386 https://whitehatcommunity.com/showthread.php?tid=149480 https://emiratehub.ae/thread-337.html http://uhm.vn/forum/showthread.php?tid=260401 https://www.jiubei.eu/forum/showthread.php?tid=5642 htt

Daily Crunch: A huge fintech exit as the week ends

 Our thanks to everyone who wrote in this week about the format changes to the newsletter! Feedback largely sorted into two themes: Some people really like the more narrative format, and some folks really want a more link-list styled missive. What follows is an attempt to balance both perspectives. Starting today we’ll bold company names, so that you can more quickly pick out startups, add more bulleted points to sections, and, per a different piece of feedback, include more regular descriptors of companies that are not household names. That said, we’re not going to abandon chatting with you every day, as TechCrunch is nothing if not full of things to say. So here’s a blend of what the new, updated Daily Crunch team had in mind, and your notes. A big thanks to everyone who wrote in!
