In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Max Elster, CEO und Co-Founder von Minoa, über die erfolgreich abgeschlossene Pre-Seed-Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 2,7 Millionen US-Dollar.Minoa hat eine Vertriebsplattform entwickelt, die SaaS-Anbietern sowie ihren Kundinnen und Kunden dabei hilft, den Lebenszyklus eines Geschäfts asynchron zu verfolgen. Die Tools der Plattform decken alles vom Wertemanagement über die Angebotserstellung bis hin zur Preisgestaltung ab. Dabei können wirksame Value Cases erstellt, die Geschäftsabschlüsse beschleunigt sowie die Konversionsraten erhöht werden. Zudem lassen sich Angebote schnell und flexibel erstellen und ein Produktkatalog dient als zentrale Quelle für alle funktions- und preisrelevanten Informationen. Auf der Grundlage von Echtzeit-Erkenntnissen über die Monetarisierung können außerdem fundierte Preisentscheidungen getroffen werden. Das Unternehmen verspricht, dass das Umsatzpotenzial durch die Lösung maximiert wird. Das Startup wurde im Jahr 2023 von Max Elster und Richard Einhorn gegründet. Die Gründer sind gerade dabei, von Europa nach San Francisco umzuziehen, um näher an der Fülle von B2B-SaaS-Unternehmen und Risikokapital in der Region zu sein.In einer Pre-Seed-Runde hat Minoa nun 2,7 Millionen US-Dollar unter der Führung von 468 Capital eingesammelt. Zu den weiteren institutionellen Investoren gehören Mischief des Plaid-Gründers Zach Perret, AirAngels, Alumni Ventures und Fidi Ventures. Zu den Business Angels in der Runde zählen Front-Gründerin Mathilde Collin, Podcast-Moderator Lenny Rachitsky und DocSend-Gründer Russ Heddleston. Die Kundengröße und die Wachstumsrate wurden noch nicht öffentlich gemacht, da das Unternehmen erst in diesem Jahr gegründet wurde. Die Kundenakquisitionsstrategie besteht darin, sich auf sein Investorennetzwerk zu verlassen, um potenzielle Kunden zu erreichen. Demnach bringt die Finanzierungsrunde nicht nur das notwendige Kapital für die Weiterentwicklung der Software-Lösung, sondern auch ein Netzwerk, um den Kundenstamm zu erweitern.

In der Rubrik “Investments & Daily” begrüßen wir heute Bastian Hasslinger, Vice President von Picus Capital. Bastian hat die Finanzierungsrunde von Equals und Whatnot analysiert: Das von Bobby Pinero gegründete Tech-Startup Equals erhält eine Seed-Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 6,6 Millionen US-Dollar. Equals bietet seinen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern ein Tabellenkalkulationsprogramm mit integrierten Verbindungen zu ihren Datenbanken. Dieses Programm soll den Umgang mit Analysen von Datenströmen erleichtern, da kein Wissen von SQL benötigt wird. Die Runde wird von Craft Ventures angeführt, mit Beteiligung u.a. von BoxGroup, Worklife Ventures. Zudem beteiligen sich Business Angels, wie die Intercom-Gründern, Mathilde Collin von Front, Jack Altman von Lattice und Christina Cacioppo von Vanta. Das frische Kapital soll zur Expansion und Erweiterung der Geschäftsbereiche genutzt werden. Die in Los Angeles ansässige Live-Shopping-Plattform Whatnot verkündet eine Serie-D-Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 260 Millionen US-Dollar. Durch die Investitionsrunde steigt die Unternehmensbewertung auf 3,7 Milliarden US-Dollar. Angeführt wird die Runde von DST Global, dem Wachstumsfonds von Alphabet und dem Bestandsinvestor CapitalG. Zudem beteiligten sich BOND und die anderen Bestandsinvestoren Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) und YC Continuity. Das von Grant Lafontaine und Logan Head gegründete Unternehmen bietet eine unabhängige Einkaufsplattform von Sammlerstücke wie Turnschuhe, Sammelkarten, Sportkarten, seltenes Spielzeug und vieles mehr. Die Investition soll für die Plattform und weitere Shopping-Kategorien genutzt werden.

If you are a knowledge worker, chances are you manage most of your life and communications through email. And while collaboration platforms have come a long way, email always seems to stay the same. Most workers accept its limitations because they don't believe there is a better way. But what if there were? Mathilde Collin is the CEO of Front, a customer communication platform. She looked at the limitations of email and didn't think it was a problem too big to solve. In fact, she found her mission. In this interview with host Scott Luton, Mathilde Collin talks about: • Why email is failing most of us today as a customer communications hub • The story behind Front's tradition of onboarding each employee with a set of Legos • What it actually takes to create a better customer experience Additional Links & Resources: Learn more about Supply Chain Now:https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now ( https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now) Subscribe to Supply Chain Now and all other Supply Chain Now programs:https://supplychainnow.com/subscribe ( https://supplychainnow.com/subscribe) Leveraging Logistics and Supply Chain for Ukraine: https://vectorgl.com/stand-with-ukraine/ (https://vectorgl.com/stand-with-ukraine/) Post-COVID Strategies for Working Capital Survey: https://bit.ly/3yglyQj (https://bit.ly/3yglyQj) This episode is hosted by Scott Luton.

Despite the rise of social media, SMS and countless collaboration tools, email remains a constant in most people's lives. In the last year alone, it's estimated three hundred and twenty billion emails were sent and received worldwide (and that number is still growing). Yet as software, email hasn't really changed in years. Who to CC and BCC has become its own form of workplace etiquette, and for people who rely on it during their day-to-day, email is often considered a time waster.  It was this frustration with email that led a French twenty-something to start Front – a software company dedicated to building a better inbox.In this episode, host Ilana Strauss finds out why Front's founders were so committed to tackling a tool many tech companies wanted to give up on, the path that led them to Silicon Valley, the health setbacks that forced them to re-think their company's commitment to work-life balance, and how they discovered an untapped market of users.You'll hear from Front's co-founder and CEO Mathilde Collin and head of product Nate Abbott, as well as Chris Schwass from Culture Amp, an employee engagement company that relies heavily on email to communicate with customers.When It Clicked is an original podcast from ClickUp.

Mathilde Collin is the co-founder and CEO of Front, a communications platform that has developed a cult following - despite having to stop working at one point because her anxiety had become so debilitating. Find out how Mathilde learned to overcome burnout, an incapacitated co-founder, and a serious case of competitiveness that almost let work take over her whole life.  Front has grown quickly since its founding in 2013, amassing a cult following, and recently announced a huge series C round with some investors including Eric Yuan - the founder of Zoom.  In this candid conversation, Mathilde shares why she was so unhappy as an intern before starting Front, meeting her co-founder, her Y Combinator experience, meeting Patrick Collison - CEO of Stripe, why dealing with anxiety has been so challenging, and why she considers discipline and transparency to be important skills for happiness and success.  “For me, what matters is when I'm not working, I want to make sure that I'm not working. I think the biggest thing that prevents people from having a good work life balance isn't obviously the number of hours, but the fact that when they're off, they're on.” We chat about: Make something people want How YC gave her the confidence that Front would be a great company Transparency and discipline at Front Her super power Links: Mathilde Collin – Medium Want to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

In 2014, Mathilde Collin moved from France to California to take part in Y Combinator and to bring her vision for a better email platform closer to her target customers. Today, Front is the leading Customer Communication Platform that serves more than 6,5000 customers, including Shopify, Airbnb, and Hulu. Mathilde has raised over $138 million in funding, and through it all, has taken an open-book approach to sharing her journey of entrepreneurship—including making all of her fundraising decks public. Mathilde shares why she obsessively communicates Front's revenue metric across the company, how she's worked to build a low ego culture, and why she has no work apps on her phone.

Wellbeing in the workplace starts with transparency, vulnerability, and empathy. Mathilde Collin is the co-founder and CEO of Front App, where her mission is to help people everywhere find meaning and happiness with their work. I met Mathilde when she was going through Y Combinator back in 2014, and she has since raised over $138 million in venture capital funding. Mathilde took a leap of faith - she came all the way to San Francisco to pursue her start-up dream from France, despite never having travelled outside of Europe before her interview at YC.Mathilde is one of the most aware founders I know of. We discuss the importance of viewing founders and CEOs as people, showing vulnerability as a leader. We also discuss accepting change within ourselves and in other people, and its importance in framing ideas of happiness. What I admire the most about Mathilde is how she has been able to challenge the workplace status quo with honesty, empathy and radical transparency. You can find Mathilde on Twitter and read her musings here.

This extra-special episode of The SaaS Revolution Show comes straight from the online stage at SaaStock Remote. Join Mathilde Collin, CEO and co-founder of Front, in conversation with Alyssa Newcomb, technology reporter for Today.com and NBC News, as they discuss designing for quiet in product and in business. There's a huge amount of 'noise' in our working lives: emails, slack notifications, calendar reminders, social media alerts... With companies across the world working remotely, we've turned that digital volume up to 11 as we double down on team communication. But this always-on, noisy culture kills focus, eats away at our mental health, and ultimately prevents us from doing our most impactful work. As the background digital noise increases, what can we do - as product owners, as founders and as leaders - to help our users, our teams, and ultimately ourselves find some quiet again?

In this podcast, Dave Michels and Evan Kirstel chat with Mathilde Collin, CEO and co-founder of Front. While there's a general consensus that we have evolved past email, there's little agreement what to do about it. Many vendors are looking to replace email with workstream collaboration apps. Mathilde and Front are taking a different approach, and are reimagining email to better accommodate group collaboration.Front offers an email client for effective team collaboration. It can be used with Exchange or Gmail -- though Mathilde makes a few comments that suggest a bigger plan. Momentum is on her side. Email is growing, not declining. It's a problem because the universal inbox wasn't designed for today's volume or workflow. Can Front fix email before email breaks us? The original app of collaboration is indeed due for a makeover. Mathilde Collin moved her company of 17 people to Silicon Valley and now has thousands of enterprise customers including Tesla, Shopify, and Dropbox. Front can be used by departments, and in some cases gets deployed enterprise-wide. Front is a graduate of Y Combinator. The company recently raised millions from Sequoia Capital and investors such as Alexis Ohanian of Reddit and Stewart Butterfield of Slack.

It’s been four years now since Slack arrived to kill email — and yet, email persists. While the group chat app has plenty of ardent fans and continues to grow quickly, it also draws criticism for its distracting, always-on nature. At many workplaces, if you’re at work, you’re also expected to be available on Slack. For some people, that means the thing that “replaced” email replaced it with something much more demanding. Mathilde Collin says the workplaces of the future ought to take a different approach. She’s the cofounder and CEO of Front, which makes tools for sharing inboxes with your teammates. If you’ve ever emailed a business address starting with “contact@” or “info@,” there’s a chance the team is managing the emails with Front. But Collin’s longer-term vision is to build what she calls an asynchronous version of Slack. Like Slack, Front will be integrated with all the other software tools you use — Asana, Trello, Github, Google Docs, and so on — and collect any important notifications in a place where you can read them on your time. It takes away the constant pinging of Slack in favor of something calmer and more conducive to doing focused work. Not only hasn’t email died — the tech industry’s current focus on Time Well Spent might have made it stronger. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
