Esade Alumni Entrepreneurship is pleased to invite you to a session on how to create a startup with a business-to-business (B2B) software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model. The session will feature David Casellas, founder and CEO of Pridatect. Casellas is also a co-founder of Red Points, a technological solution that allows companies to detect and remove fakes, stop piracy and combat online fraud. Red Points has raised €34 million in funding and has opened offices in the United States. The session will be held at Esade Barcelona at 7.00 pm on Monday, 27th January.
The interview with Casellas, moderated by Oscar Vayreda, will touch on questions such as: Where do you start when you want to create a SaaS company? What are the keys to attracting B2B customers? What obstacles did you face in launching Red Points, and how have you reflected these difficulties at Pridatect? What are the keys to growth? What are the main metrics for measuring the success of a business?
