GTM04 - OpenSource Founder, with Amandine Le Pape, COO & Co-Founder, Element

Amandine Le Pape describes how Open Source was
pivotal in building Matrix, how the business
model and GTM evolved and how they manage their rapid scaling.


Highlights:
- Open Source and the power of community can solve big
problems
- Business models for Open Source are evolving quickly
- Rapid Scale needs senior people early in the journey
- The missing layer of the web is real-time communications
- Big visions need to talk to tech and business communities


Starting initially within the Amdocs business, founder
Amandine Le Pape (with her Co-founder
Matthew Hodgson) formed the vision for the
missing layer of the web and created Matrix. As a decentralised
and highly secure open standard, Matrix is now over 30 million
users strong and is powering communications at many large public
bodies and private companies. Element fuels the
growth of the ecosystem by being a core contributor to Matrix and
providing apps and services for Matrix. Element is on a path to
be world changing and a defining standard, hence needs strategic
thinking in the GTM challenges ahead.
