Boldare hosted a live meetup in Amsterdam

“How to find new users & revenue streams for your digital products?” was a live meetup we hosted on the 14th of December. Our office in Amsterdam was the place where we shared our knowledge and experience in the product-market fit phase. Read on to find out how the meetup went, what questions people asked and what are our plans for follow-ups.

What was about to happen made us all excited - and for a good reason

This was the first time we hosted a live meetup in Amsterdam. It was our introduction to the local startup community, so naturally, we were a little anxious to see how many people are going to turn up and if they find our lecture valuable. As it turned out, our worries were unwarranted.

On the proverbial behind the scenes, the team responsible for organizing this event was split into two: one part of the team was in Amsterdam taking care of the guests on-site, while the rest stayed in Poland watching online streaming and cheering on their colleagues.

First guests appeared 30 minutes before the event, while others let us know they will be slightly late. The meetup’s host - Matt Hallmann - started out with unfortunate news: our speaker, Aneta Orszewska, had to cancel her flight to Amsterdam due to unforeseen circumstances.

Luckily she was ready to join us online and give a lecture on her experience with finding a product market fit for one of our clients - TeamAlert.

How many of our guests joined the meetup and did they enjoy it?

Aneta’s lecture had thirty listeners live and twenty-seven online. The ones who made it to our office were taking notes and pictures of presentation slides. After the lecture there was a time for Q&A, where some of the guests asked: “What metrics did you use?” or “Where can I find TeamAlert’s app?”

After the lecture, a less formal part started: networking over lunch and drinks. We had the chance to talk about Boldare, Grajfka - Boldare Foundation’s Democratic School or just simply to get to know each other. It was a fun experience and most of the guests stayed till 10 pm.

Let’s keep in touch

Getting together was just a start! Our guests have plenty of opportunities to keep in touch with us - by joining Agile Builders Community or by following us on social media. To complement the information from the event, our guests received an exclusive link to a workbook that can help determine if their product is ready for product-market fit.

Overall, our first live meetup was a success. That is why we are already planning next ones for 2023 - follow us on social media to find out if we’re coming to your neighborhood!
