Ashish Desai of 99designs - Startup Product Marketing...On Two Continents
Ashish Desai, VP of Product at 99designs, talks about Product Marketing at a Startup. 99designs is the best place on the Internet to find an excellent designer. You can run a contest, get tons of submissions, and then refine a few designs before choosing a winner. Or you can contact and hire a designer directly. In this episode, Ashish talks about how a failed Internet venture (with me :)) helped him recognize the opportunity at 99designs. He talks about managing a development team on two different continents and how 99designs' Australian culture helps the team focus on the future and improvement.
