About our speaker and this episode:
Jonathan Friedman is the Co-Founder and CEO of Demostack, on this episode we talk about how Demostack got it’s start as a result of a problem that Jonathan experienced in his previous job and he wanted to do something about it. In short, Demostack wants to make it easy for companies to build software demos. This was a unique episode as software companies of all types face challenges in building a quality demo, one that doesn’t expose actual customer information, yet shows all of the functionality in a reasonably realistic way. And it’s great to see Demostack solve for this pain point.
We also discussed how Jonathan was able to raise $17.3 million in funding today from some of the most respected VC firms in the world led by Bessemer Venture Partners with help from GTM Fund and with participation from Operator Collective, Cerca Partners and a slew of individual investors.
Prior to Demostack, Jonathan built Tripactions Liquid, a Travel Payments product from the ground up where he helped take the project from a vague Fintech idea to a full blown strategic business unit in 12 months. Previously, Jonathan successfully brought multiple technology products from idea to market, with 2 successful exits. Those being Reactful and studentevents.com
