The SaaS Revolution Show

How to go global from the early stages with Bjorn Zinssmeister, Templarbit


Listen Later

Bjoern Zinssmeister is the co-founder and CEO of Templarbit, a San Francisco-based developer-oriented security platform. Started less than a year ago, it has already been through Y Combinator, has raised $3 million in funding and is successfully conquering the Asian market, starting with Japan.

Bjoern left Germany for San Francisco as soon as he graduated university. In 2010 there simply wasn’t enough interesting tech coming from Europe to keep him around. It was all in Silicon Valley.

Before he founded Templarbit, a developer-oriented security platform, Bjoern took seven years to learn the trades of building and running tech companies. His journey started at Match.com up and concluded in Design Inc where he was the CTO.

Listen on to hear:

  • How to pitch to Y Combinator with confidence
  • Does going to Y Combinator help 
  • How to go global as an early stage company
