Share this episode:


In this episode, I had Pierre Burgy, the co-founder and CEO of Strapi, the leading open-source headless CMS. Pierre shares his incredible nine-year journey, from starting a side project as a student to building a globally recognized company.

He dives deep into the early challenges of fundraising for an open-source project (including being $30k in debt), the evolution of their business model, the power of community, and his vision for the future of content management with AI.
