From recruitment service to a product – Iryna from Indeed advises Viktoria from BazaIT

Here are two learnings in one — First you learn from Iryna how Indeed builds and expands their product and how BazaIT went from a recruitment service to a product. With the second season we decided to add more value for startups — connect them with US advisors and as a side value — release this recording as a podcast and video episode.

Both the guests are awesome — Iryna is a Senior PM at Indeed and is an active angel investor with BADideas.fund, Hustle Fund, VITALIZE Venture Capital ANGELS.vc and other communities.

Viktoria is a serial entrepreneur, starting her agency Reteam and now switching from service to a product BazaIT. She is also an active member of Techosystem and Kyiv IT Cluster.

10th Episode: It's time to discuss the most crucial market for us now — DefenseTech.
