Hello and welcome to the next addition of VideoAsk Voyagers! 🛸

 

🍿 In this episode we caught up with John Ostler, CEO of @UnicornRoad and Ariana Gibson, CEO and Founder of new mental health startup - Stigma.

We discover Ariana’s inspiration for creating the Stigma community and how by leveraging the VideoAsk API documentation John and his team were able to quickly build the app, which offers hope to mental health sufferers through a crowd-sourced video messaging experience.

 

 

During the conversation we talked about:

 

  • Using the API documentation to define how to customize VideoAsk within the app
     

  • Leveraging custom variables to streamline processes and make the most out of contact collection
     

  • The importance of inclusivity and privacy 
     

  • Feedback from users and how being able to move quickly has helped build a community of support

 

 

 

"Your key strength as a startup is that you're lightning fast and you can outmanoeuvre everyone. You're not a 10,000 pound gorilla that needs to go through a bunch of teams to get anything done." - John
