No-code mobile app platform for event management and attendee engagement
Guidebook builds no-code mobile apps for conferences, corporate events, and universities. The tech stack (Python, Django, PostgreSQL, AWS) supports a SaaS operation with Salesforce + Marketo for GTM. The hiring mix is heavily sales-skewed (4 roles) against 1 engineering slot, while project and pain-point data reveal a business in GTM expansion mode: active work on education vertical strategy, pipeline development, and churn reduction—not product-stage problems.
