Setting up a meeting can be a lot at times, whether itโs with a client, a customer, or even a colleague. The endless back-and-forth of finding a suitable time can feel like an unnecessary struggle. But thereโs an app that changes all that, making scheduling effortless and it's called ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐(
@Calendly).
Founded by ๐ง๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ(
@TopeAwotona ) ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฏ, Calendly takes the stress out of meeting coordination. Individuals, teams, and organizations worldwide use it to automate scheduling, whether for closing deals, hiring top talent, strengthening relationships, or driving business growth.
What started as a simple solution to an everyday frustration has grown into a global powerhouse. Today, Calendly is valued at ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐๐ง๐จ, ๐จ๐๐ง๐ซ๐๐จ ๐ค๐ซ๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ ๐ข๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐ช๐จ๐๐ง๐จ, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐จ ๐ข๐ค๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐ช๐ฃ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐ค๐ฎ๐๐๐จ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐จ ๐จ๐ช๐๐๐๐จ๐จ.
But that success didnโt come easy. Before Calendly, Mr Tope saw ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐!!!๐ฉ. He tried three business ventures, each ending in failure. His fourth attempt, born from the frustration of scheduling meetings as a salesman, changed everything. Instead of letting setbacks define him, he turned them into fuel for innovation.
Somebody shout RISK!!!
For over a year, Mr Tope bootstrapped Calendly with his own money which means na him dey chest all the billing before the product gained momentum. That fearless spirit didnโt come from nowhere, it was deeply rooted in his upbringing. His father once left a stable corporate job in Lagos to start his own business, setting an example of courage and perseverance.
So my people, whatever you're working on, keep going. Keep building. Keep pushing.
