I joined Hopin because Carlos at Seedcamp, who invested in both Hopin and my previous startup, introduced me to the CEO Johnny to “help out a bit”.
Back then I was still skeptical of remote work and virtual events, so I prepared some questions I wanted to ask Johnny during our first meeting. No questions were asked.
Instead, I met Johnny in a coffee shop at Kings Cross where he was demoing the platform to a client (!) across the table while also interviewing and onboarding me at the same time. Talk about speed of execution!
Listening to Johnny pitch Hopin, it was clear this guy was onto something. Only when I joined Hopin’s Slack a day later, I realized we were only 16 people and the platform was still in beta.
