So you see that the company\u2019s beginnings are all about forming the foundation, and phase two is more about scaling all of these processes across different markets.<\/p>\n<p>Our team at Booking.com was paranoid about disruption. I think staying on top of all market developments is a healthy trait to have as a company.<\/p>\n<p>In a way, it\u2019s risky for your business to think that you\u2019re doing a great job.

Once you establish a large network of clients, you will identify different friction elements that your customers experience when using your service. At Booking.com, we sent an email, as a test, to ask our customers whether they need any assistance with their stay. We got an enormous reaction from people, who have been looking for help to find transportation from airports, restaurant recommendations, etc.<\/p>\n<p>We also decided to test the tourist attractions market by offering free passes for a weekend to all our customers travelling to Amsterdam. We were blown away by the huge lines at the museums, which made it clear to us that this market was a rather untapped one at that time since a lot of people were travelling without a clear plan in mind.<\/p>\n<p>That said,\u00a0<b>you don\u2019t always have to be a first mover in business.\u00a0<\/b>With Booking.com, we were careful when making decisions; we wanted to ensure that the move we were taking was a weighted one because every business pivot comes with spending lots of resources and manpower.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"Have you ever considered taking your product to a market that was more ready for you?\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<article class=\"article-wide modular-push section\" data-section=\"Marleen Vogelaar - founder and CEO @Ziel &amp; co-founder @Shapeways\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"big\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"Key highlights\">\n<div class=\"c\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lbpb3-f6c251421401e526f342a32f84457f48\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-lbpb3-f6c251421401e526f342a32f84457f48{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-lbpb3-f6c251421401e526f342a32f84457f48 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-20  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-lqdjxh5w-4bab3a01481baf84c450c07d72bce20e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"What problem were you trying to solve with Bynder?\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"How did you experience the process of finding the ultimate pizza recipe that you could scale for Magioni?\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"Looking back, what was the first MVP of a VanMoof bike and how did you know you have a product-market fit?\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"It seems like you have developed different functionalities before you could actually go to market.
