One of the best things about VCs and accelerators is that they bring founders together - which often leads to collaboration, cross-sell, and unexpected product ideas.
I wrote a forum post not long ago on marketing as one of the rising in importance hires for all startups. This is all the things we've done, with some results and free resources.
I didn't know no-shows waste 15-40% of every sales team's calendar until I met a stranger at Web Summit. I was standing by our booth when someone wandered over and started asking about what we're building at @Meet-Ting. I assumed he was just curious. Then he mentioned his company loses a lot of time to no-shows across his sales team. I asked how many. "We get 10,000 inbound demos a month." He walked off eventually, and someone came over to me and said: "Do you know who that was?".
Turns out he was the Head of Sales at a European unicorn.
We stayed in touch. And that conversation became a feature! We call it 'No Show Recovery'. Ting watches your calendar. If it notices the other person didn't show up, it asks if you want help rescheduling - automatically, inside the same thread. When you're running 10k sales calls a month and 15-40% don't show, recovering even 1-5% is hundreds of meetings saved and potential $$$s. Other lesson, talk to people as if you want and expect nothing in return.

Self-centred update today, but adding the top Product Hunt badge to our site felt real good. See bottom right of image, also online here: meet-ting.com
As a measure of the impact of vibe coding and the need to focus on positioning, narrative, and marketing and distribution, I noticed that that 610 products were submitted to the Product Hunt leaderboard today, but only 16 were featured which is less than 3%.
The previous high was just over 500 products in December.
In our recent Ting v2 launch, we talked about giving your calendar your brain so it can make decisions for you. That means moving from reactive proactive full automation.
Hopefully this isn t your second Ting notification overload in a couple of days
We got top three launch for the day yesterday! We're so delighted and grateful. Thank you for upvotes, comments, good vibes and giving us the energy to keep pushing.
We said we d give Product Hunt something extra, but we didn't want to spam yesterday.
