S11 E11: The Auth-to-Growth Pipeline: Eliminating Legacy CIAM Friction and Building Customer-Facing Infrastructure for the Product-Led Growth Era with Dave Berner, VP of Product at Kinde

from Code Story | Startup Podcast for CTOs, CEOs and Technical Founders Hosted by Noah Labhart | Podcast for Technical Founders & Startups

Dave Berner grew up in London, and got into coding through music. He used to be the lead singer in metal and hardcore bands. His bands couldn't afford a webmaster, so he learned how to code in order to launch his band's website, along with setting up friend's custom MySpace profiles. Beyond that, he partook in many startups and side projects, loving to build on the internet. Outside of tech, he's married with 3 kids. He mentions his family is a "low tech" family, teaching their kids fundamental education without a screen. The live in Australia, in a sleepy surfer town, though he admits he hasn't learned to surf just yet. Dave has always been building side hustles, but none of them really got off the ground. What he noticed about the process was that the process of building the infra of an app - the auth, the billing, support, etc. - always took too long. Eventually, he thought that maybe the best product would be something combining these things. This is the creation story of Kinde.
