Interview with Àlex at itnig!

Interview with Àlex at itnig! - Life on Mars Podcast Episode 34

For this episode, we'd like to share a small interview with Àlex, our CEO, at an investors pitch event hosted by our friends at itnig.

This time around, Àlex is the guest, while Bernat Farrero (Co-founder of itnig), interviewed him in the middle of the pitching event with startups for the Itnig Fund One, where Àlex is a partner (for the full disclosure).

Bernat improvised a fireside chat with Àlex to talk about his multiple initiatives, covering:

  • How we work at MarsBased
  • Why we have ARR as a services-based company
  • Economics of a company like MarsBased
  • What is Startup Grind Barcelona and how it is managed from MarsBased
  • Why haven't we gone into product
  • Why we don't have churn either in clients or employees
  • Àlex's adventures in angel investing

If you want to see Àlex sweating bullets when asked about financials*, you ought to see this episode.

*Thank god we've got Jordi to make sure that the company is financially viable.
