Sounds Profitable

Exploring a Real-Time Case Study with Fatima Zaidi of Quill


Listen Later

Today on the show, Bryan Barletta speaks with Fatima Zaidi, founder and CEO of Quill inc., a full-service podcast agency that makes it easy for brands and publishers to create, launch and grow successful podcasts. Quill is launching a hosting service, Co-Host. After years of trying to work with existing hosting solutions, Quill found that their clients desired different and more complex KPIs, so, they decided to build a solution that could track them. Listen for:
  • How and why Quill decided to build a new hosting platform in this seemingly saturated space
  • How Quill has built a tech team after running a production company for a few years
    • P.s. they’re still looking for a developer
  • A discussion on the hype around VC and angel funding 
  • Why we should celebrate bootstrapped companies
  • A playbook on real-time beta testers
  •   Here’s our favorite idea from this conversation: Fatima believes in the concept of “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.” But she and her team still came to the decision that the existing solutions weren’t hitting all of the needs of their clients. Ultimately, they had to put their clients first. Links:
