Karl Sun, Lucid - 5 Rules for Building a Platform on Top of Your Product to Drive Continuous Growth
Although Lucid Software went nearly a decade mainly focused on its flagship product, Lucidchart, the team always built the company with a platform in mind. And it’s because of this mindset of optionality and scale that the company is able to quickly adapt when opportunities arise, like adding products to its Visual Collaboration Suite when the opportunity and market was right in 2020, as well as opening up its technology to key partners through APIs. In this session, come hear Karl Sun, co-founder and Board Chair of Lucid Software, discuss the power of platform, what his team focused on to build for scale early on and how that is now benefiting the company as it serves its millions of customers worldwide.
