EP7: Getting rid of copy/paste; w/ Pascal Weinberger, founder & CEO, Bardeen.ai — Product Market Fit podcast

Pascal Weinberger is the founder and CEO of Bardeen. I don’t throw the word genius around lightly but Pascal definitely ranks up there. I really enjoyed this thoughtful and honest interview and I think you will too!

In this episode, Pascal shares Bardeen’s growth story and we cover:

  • How they built a beta product and iterated with user feedback
  • His experience launching on Product Hunt
  • How to activate new users
  • And whether startups should be multi-platform or go all-in on a single one to start

We also touched on topics covered in previous episodes such as programmatic or product-led SEO and building viral Growth loops into the product. So if you haven’t listened to those episodes, definitely go back and check those out.
