For anyone working with a spreadsheet and workflows, either on academic or business environments, it is common knowledge that processing information takes a lot of resources (not to say time).
While thinking, planning and executing ideas it is paramount that data bases, actionable tasks and more strategic decision making processes align on real time, or at least as close to it as possible. This is what Sheetgo is all about: helping people/companies to automate their workflows.
Sheetgo’s founders, as a side project, created what Google referred to as the “first Google Sheets based ERP” in 2010. In 2016 they turned the core functionality that enabled the ERP into Sheetgo, an easy, yet reliable, governable, secure and highly scalable way to connect information online.
A cloud-based platform (SaaS), that enables hundreds of thousands of users from over 170 countries to create and automate their workflows right from an online spreadsheet. Backed up by tech VCs, and serving small to large companies. Also awarded as “The Most Scalable Startup” and “The Best B2B Enterprise Services” in 2018.
Yannick will share with you how to be an adventurous and successful failure (define success, define failure), whilst also going through an exercise of BHAG (Elon will be mentioned). In order for us to dream, visualize our Northstar, map out stages and set ourselves up for success with a good compass (company culture), and a big risk of failure. Welcome to entrepreneurship ;)
