Infobip Starts New Podcast for Scaleup Tech Founders and Leaders

Infobip has launched a new podcast focused on scaleup tech founders and leaders. The ScaleUp & Up podcast will emphasize the people who have bootstrapped their companies, or secured venture capital funding, and how they have scaled a business from scratch. Listeners will learn the lessons and insights first-hand from those leading successful scaleup businesses, what they did, and what it took to grow.

“The project has been created by the Infobip team which has produced the number one technology podcast in South-eastern Europe, not once but twice, following Infobip’s acquisition of developer media brand Netokracija. Among the hosts is award-winning journalist Mia Biberović, making this a podcast that will challenge the best in the business,” said Ben Lewis, Vice President of Marketing and Growth at Infobip.

The podcast has launched with a pilot run of three episodes featuring guests from Infobip. First is Silvio Kutić, the CEO of Infobip, who bootstrapped the business from no turnover to $1 billion in revenue in just 14 years. The global communications platform became Croatia’s first unicorn, valued at more than $1 billion when it raised $200 million from One Equity Partners.

Ivan Ostojić, Infobip’s Chief Business Officer, is second on the podcast. Third up is Mario Ančić, a vice president at One Equity Partners, based in New York and a former professional tennis player. Other confirmed guests include Amir Salihefendić, founder of task manager and to-do list app Todoist, who bootstrapped his business to 30 million users in 13 years.

The first episode is available now, and the second and third episodes will be available in the first three months of 2024. Infobip will release six episodes between April to June, with another six from October to December. The Scale Up and Up podcast is available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Pocket Casts.
