WordPress for Startup Founders: The Advantages Are Real and So Are the Traps by Anirban Mukherji

MiniOrange began product development with a CyberSecurity plugin more than a decade ago. Since then, it has launched numerous products on WordPress and other marketplaces, and now has cloud services as well as on-prem products of its own. WordPress has immense benefits for a person who wants to be a founder and have their own company. In this session, Anirban wants to share his own journey and wants to share what the learnings are along the way, and why WordPress continues to be one of the main focuses for miniOrange and is likely to be its main focus going forward as well. The session will also cover the traps that a startup founder should not get into while being on WordPress, and what the expectations are from a community point of view if a startup takes off from WordPress. It will also cover basic startup needs like barrier to entry, how to create a niche, opportunities for product development in AI and CyberSecurity, etc.
