That\u2019s where Wonderflow\u2019s SaaS software comes in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can think of everything that is written in online reviews, everything that is shared through the contact centre when you call a brand, when you answer a survey or when you chat on the company website.\u00a0It\u2019s very difficult to carry out the complete process of data collection, through to actually making the decision. We\u2019re specialised in that.<\/p>\n<p>We work with companies that normally collect or generate a lot of consumer data and we extract the value that\u2019s inside that data. We do that with national language processing; so linguistic technologies that simulate human interpretation capabilities, but also with predictive and prescriptive technologies. We predict what the brand should do in order to improve their net promoter score, their ratings and reviews, their customer satisfaction, their revenue, and so on. We really shorten the gap between collecting feedback and doing something with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"big\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-oscq44-36f869268c85cecccd4bfbd423eb3cfa\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-oscq44-36f869268c85cecccd4bfbd423eb3cfa{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-oscq44-36f869268c85cecccd4bfbd423eb3cfa hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3pz0fm-f619e415e53cb13448a1d221110ecda8\">\n.avia-image-container.av-3pz0fm-f619e415e53cb13448a1d221110ecda8 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-3pz0fm-f619e415e53cb13448a1d221110ecda8 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-3pz0fm-f619e415e53cb13448a1d221110ecda8 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-2470 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-2470 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/wonderflow-on-a-laptop.webp\" alt='' title='wonderflow on a laptop'  height=\"505\" width=\"800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/wonderflow-on-a-laptop.webp 800w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/wonderflow-on-a-laptop-300x189.webp 300w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/wonderflow-on-a-laptop-768x485.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ikkiys-1dd5c640e46ec14e93067f52687a030e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"Thrown in at the deep end\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<h3>Thrown in at the deep end<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Riccardo says one of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wonderflow.ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wonderflow<\/a>\u2019s biggest early challenges actually came when they began serving huge multinational enterprises, the likes of Philips, TomTom and HTC, despite still being a team of just two or three people.\u00a0That meant ensuring their business model could cope with the kind of pressures associated with serving this scale of operation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The biggest challenge was to build our first product as an already enterprise-grade solution. So one that could be used by an enterprise comfortably, and without them being anxious that their data would be lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another difficulty came with educating the managers at these enterprises on the value of utilising this customer data. Essentially this meant proving the worth and product-market fit of what Wonderflow was\u00a0<i>actually<\/i>\u00a0offering to potential clients who weren\u2019t necessarily always open to change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had to always work with managers who because they work at an enterprise, were not so advanced in terms of the customer-centric mindset, or they were not used to doing something with this data. They were collecting a lot of data, they were trying to understand, but they never really had a process to put this data to work, to make something with it. So we had to not just sell the product, but to educate them &#8211; and in the early days as a startup, this is extremely challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That willingness at an enterprise level to work with a startup like Wonderflow came as a surprise to Riccardo, as was his business\u2019 ability to outperform those considered market-leaders in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom a practical perspective, it really surprised me to see a company of our size outperform the market-leaders in terms of quality of analysis, actionability of the data performance, number of users per company, etc. So I thought we had a gap that we had to fill. When we tested this with users we found ourselves to be out in front for many aspects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, despite Wonderflow earning that trust from enterprise-level businesses in its initial stages, Riccardo did highlight that this isn\u2019t a common occurrence &#8211; and there\u2019s still an unfortunate reluctance between these companies to break the habit of solely dealing with other big names.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m surprised that many enterprises still believe they should be working with mainly large companies and not with scaleups because they do not understand that if they want real innovation, they have to work with companies who do that innovation, which is not other big companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"big\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-27hmu0-5cddd587c42598ec3a1ac1ad48a828ac\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-27hmu0-5cddd587c42598ec3a1ac1ad48a828ac{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-27hmu0-5cddd587c42598ec3a1ac1ad48a828ac hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lo2zxjg9-e5f325258350de7ee32f167a972e1a54 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Hiring talent: A balancing act<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Striking that balance between the calibre of talent and sticking to budget is a huge task, particularly when you\u2019re first finding your feet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHiring is very complicated because you need to find someone that in your mind, in your eyes, you expect to be so careful, so passionate and so devoted to the company as you were. Another challenge relates to the budget because startups and scaleups do not often have an enormous budget to spend, and therefore they tend not to hire the tier one, the very best professionals. But these are what you really need to scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Riccardo does point out that getting the right people in the startup hiring phase is a worthy investment, and cutting corners here is likely to become an expensive mistake further down the line regardless.\u00a0Riccardo also highlighted that as a founder, you will inevitably become not as involved in the hiring process as you once were, which can be difficult.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you are small, the time of the founders is 100% litigated to the growth and creation of the company itself, so it\u2019s fine, you have the founders completely involved.

I think we\u2019re told that in the early stages, it\u2019s better to raise less money and then maybe do a larger round later on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s very important to develop your company at a much faster pace, which is more likened to the US way of seeing these things. Therefore you need money. You need money to attract the best talent, you need money to iterate, to make changes and to try it again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be much easier if you can count on this funding in the early days, so you don\u2019t have to spend your time raising in multiple rounds, because that absolves a lot of your time. So I would say try to raise fewer rounds, but bigger rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With that being said, Riccardo did hedge his advice by conceding if something doesn\u2019t feel right to you personally, no amount of advice from anyone is going to change your decision, something which he admitted being guilty of himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"Confronting bias and other surprises \">\n<div class=\"c\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1v3e2b-3dcbea4e77066101c2f26016e0990040\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-1v3e2b-3dcbea4e77066101c2f26016e0990040{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-1v3e2b-3dcbea4e77066101c2f26016e0990040 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-miihas-41c3444ad08ec2be607350e60cf51499\">\n.avia-image-container.av-miihas-41c3444ad08ec2be607350e60cf51499 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-miihas-41c3444ad08ec2be607350e60cf51499 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-miihas-41c3444ad08ec2be607350e60cf51499 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-24  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-2471 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-2471 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Riccardo-Osti-wonderflow.webp\" alt='' title='Riccardo Osti wonderflow'  height=\"587\" width=\"800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Riccardo-Osti-wonderflow.webp 800w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Riccardo-Osti-wonderflow-300x220.webp 300w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Riccardo-Osti-wonderflow-768x564.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-awcx88-153971e8b3c6eed5bc4a17ada415bccf\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-awcx88-153971e8b3c6eed5bc4a17ada415bccf{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-awcx88-153971e8b3c6eed5bc4a17ada415bccf hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-7e501g-35909eb2a2b69d0f09f12f6effe013ed '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Seeking a mentor<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Learning to hand over the reins is often one of the most difficult things a founder can experience as they scale, and delegation becomes a vital tool in your arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s natural to be incredibly protective over what you\u2019ve created, it\u2019s an essential skill that will not just benefit your business, but also your own wellbeing. This also demonstrates another big motivator in getting your hiring process right and surrounding yourself with the best possible people, who will naturally make handing over that bit easier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think one mistake that I can place myself into, is that you always want to do everything yourself, even when this is not possible anymore. The culture of delegating, normally an entrepreneur has to learn this from someone else external.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you need to find a mentor, maybe someone who\u2019s spent their career somewhere else, who can teach you how and why you have to delegate. It doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019re not going to be successful if you really want to view everything and be present all the time, but you\u2019re not living a good life if you take this approach.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-38xl43-912d049a79808ff21ca3ff0176bdcb40\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-38xl43-912d049a79808ff21ca3ff0176bdcb40{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-38xl43-912d049a79808ff21ca3ff0176bdcb40 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lo3032gp-0143ca310b2ea36024ba488a378debd0 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"\u201cCulture starts at the door\u201d\u00a0\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"The art of saying \u2018no\u2019\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<h3>Be the best in class<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>We asked Riccardo for some of the best business advice that he\u2019d ever been given, coincidently, he recalled a piece of wisdom that was actually shared during a Techleap event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were talking about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techleap.nl\/articles\/making-the-jump-supercharge-your-international-expansion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expanding to other markets<\/a>, one person said if you expand to another market you need to do it when you want to win the market, not to sell more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this is very much the approach that scaleups need to have.

If you know for a fact that they\u2019ll never give up, it\u2019s all you need to get through the more difficult situations. Build the founding team that you would bet everything on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecond, is to always ask for more money. This is valid for investors, but also more importantly for customers. If you build something that is valuable and you are asking too much, maybe they say \u2018it\u2019s too expensive&#8217; and then you lower your price. Do not be afraid to ask for more, the worst thing that can happen is someone says it\u2019s too expensive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe third is probably connected. Search for the quickest possible validation of what you build. For example, if I ask someone for a lot of money for our product and they tell me they don\u2019t see the value, I cannot offer them a discount, because they don\u2019t see the value.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if I priced it at one euro, they still won\u2019t buy it.
