Here’s how to startup. Even when the world goes topsy-turvy. From one home office to another, Zendesk leaders chat with founders, CEOs, and makers on their startup journey. There’s rule-flipping, new dogma and recycling failure into growth. Plus, why customer experience is at the heart of success, as told by people who know unpredictability inside out. (That seems pretty helpful right now.)

[$400M raised] FLYR Labs’s Founder, Alex Mans: journey to product-market fit

Welcome to the latest episode of Sit Down Startup, where host Adam O'Donnell explores FLYR Labs’ founder and CEO Alex Mans' meteoric rise with $400M raised, #boom!

Transitioning from a consumer-focused model predicting ticket prices to a B2B powerhouse, they're now strategically collaborating with airlines to optimize pricing. Adam and Alex discuss why pivoting to high-margin, recurring revenue streams with big companies was a game-changer for their business model.

Also critical to success are the strong personal relationships FLYR Labs has forged with airline C-suite executives, key in securing lucrative contracts. Finally, Adam and Alex tackle the criticism airlines face for poor data management and how FLYR Labs' machine learning solutions are setting new industry standards.
