I'm excited to see that initiatives like Project Europe exist to help drive innovation!

I like how Zain Abiddin put it. We tend to think what to build, how to expand, scale. But removing friction often leads to better results. There are reasons why people quit the funnel or products. And fixing it is also a growth strategy

I had a chance to talk with some Stripe Community Builders lately and I'm blown away by things people build and work on. The community is so vibrant. I've talked with Benson Trent who created Parcelcraft shipping app for Stripe that allows you to generate shipping labels without any dedicated shop software. The famous Montreal coworking space Ideal Coworking is ran by Danny Forest who works also on marketplace for dental clinics and hygienists and assistants called Swiftcare and other projects. Dwayne Samuels builds Samelogic, which caught my attention because it captures UI issues in your SaaS application, I'll have to check it out! I had the chance to talk with Faris Aziz that runs ZurichJS, one of the most popular conferences for JavaScript developers that is placed in Zurich. Kamil Jablonski preparing the first kick off meeting in Warsaw at 17/08, I'll love to join. Same for the big founder meeting that will take place in Krakow on October 20th thanks to Nathan Latka. From Nebraska I've met Maryse Williams that is a successful career coach, so you need coaching for your career growth, make sure to contact Maryse. Everyone is so excited to build products and grow the community! It's great to be part of it, and I'm excited for more talks to come!
