Deven Hariyani - Kwaddle
How To Understand And Achieve Product-Market Fit
When Deven Hariyani and his wife discovered their son might be on the spectrum for Autism back in 2013, they were new parents, unsure what to do. Soon after, Deven was clued in, by a friend, on the cognitive and physical benefits of horseback riding for Autistic children. Continuing to speak to more parents, he discovered how many activities and enrichment programs exist to help children in ways he never realized. From this discovery, Kwaddle had its genesis.
Deven soon realized something dispiriting. “One of the statistics that stuck with me was that 4 out of 10 kids don’t have an after school activity or summer experience at all, and that just broke my heart,” he said. Kwaddle seeks to change those numbers.
With an MBA and a background in technology, Deven knew he needed an online platform to make childhood experiences accessible and inclusive for parents. A mission-driven company, Kwaddle would also seek to donate a sizeable portion of its proceeds back to charitable groups in the Austin-area, working directly to uplift children of the community.
In this episode of Voices of Impact, Deven talks about how to understand and achieve product-market fit. We discuss facing market adversity, bridging the gap between tech and a well-rounded business, and learning to solve a problem that’s plagued parents for decades. Deven also shares his exact personal framework to breaking into entrepreneurship. Tune in to find out more...
