Manage episode 408953204 series 3487410
Your host, Alex Shevelenko, talks with the Co-Founder and CEO of Katana Cloud Inventory, Kristjan Vilosius. Kristjan shed light on how Estonia's limited internal market compels startups to think globally from the outset. This necessity to expand beyond borders is a driving force behind the country's success. Moreover, the legacy of Skype, which originated in Estonia, has played a pivotal role in cultivating local talent and inspiring a cascade of innovative ventures.
Kristjan discussed the global ambition that characterizes Estonian startups, using Wise and Bolt as prime examples. The efficiency ingrained in these companies, coupled with the liberation felt after the USSR's collapse, has fueled the entrepreneurial spirit in Estonia. This mindset has been instrumental in the success stories we see today.
Kristjan introduced Katana, a cloud-based inventory software for small and medium-sized businesses. Born from frustration with cumbersome traditional ERP solutions, Katana was created to offer a user-friendly alternative that simplifies onboarding, implementation, and communication. Kristjan's journey from starting small to competing with giants like SAP and Oracle is a testament to the power of strategic growth and market understanding.
