Designing for Virality

As a designer or entrepreneur it’s a lot of fun to think about what the next big thing is. We all want our idea to go viral. But what if we succeed? What then?

Felix shares his story of joining the rocket ship at Calendly, the tactics they employ to stay customer-obsessed, and some of the challenges they face as they design for a product that helps people schedules millions of meetings every month.
