7 statements about Google Calendar, every show
Butterfield: Google Calendar's iOS interface is 'bananas how bad it is'
“This is an app that's used by at least hundreds of millions of people, presumably every single Google employee. It's bananas how bad it is.”
Shear: Kiko built Google Calendar roughly a year before Google did
“Basically, we built Google Calendar roughly a year before Google Calendar was released.”
Claap drove waitlist growth via a viral meeting calculator on Product Hunt
“So one of the things we did, for example, was to launch a meeting calculator. It's on our website as well. And basically like you connect your Google calendar, and then you are going to see a lot of like stats around like your number of meetings, like the type…”
Kan's First Startup Kiko Launched One Month Before Google Calendar
“Our very first company was called Kiko. It was kind of like Google Calendar but it came out One month before Google Calendar came out”
Thompson built Poppy's initial prototype with Squarespace, Typeform, Excel, and SMS
“Typeform, like Squarespace, I can do a four week trial, Typeform do signups and things like that. I can use Excel as a database. I can use a Google Calendar as a scheduler and SMS trying to connect it all.”
Kartzman: Spongecell launched in 2006 as an online calendar
“So we launched the company originally in, in 2006 raised our first couple million bucks. Back then the first product, believe it or not, was an online calendar. This is before Google calendar existed.”
