Stack Overflow CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar to speak at the Business Insider Global Trends Festival 2020

Time permitting, <keyword id="48560" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Communities">communities</keyword> may or may not become a third tangent. But, according to Stack Overflow CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar, communities are at the heart of software development. It’s no longer a third vantage point that only comes in when everything else is already set instead, it should be the first step. Bengaluru-born Chandrasekar started the company as a community first, and then established itself as a brand as a result of building a successful community. It’s only now that the company has started out on its products journey with software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings like Teams. “Communities will be absolutely essential for companies to really accelerate their development in the new digital world,” Chandrasekar said at the Business Insider Global Trends Festival 2020. According to him, many incumbents in the industry are now racing to catch up as startups come up with their solutions. And, at the centre of the movement are developers and technologists building solutions fueled by working from home. “Companies are being forced to really rethink how they compete and this entire — what was historically probably postponed as something they would address down the line— has been accelerated very dramatically,” he explained. Stack Overflow is a community of websites where developers can connect, share stories and learn from each other to build the ‘next big thing.’ It currently has over 100 million monthly visitors across its network of 150 websites. According to Chandrasekar, around 60% of developers worldwide sample Stack Overflow — that’s around 26 million to 27 million developers. And, this strategy has worked just fine for the 12-year old startup created by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky. The company started a community (a messaging forum, really), then built itself into a brand and now has a product to offer — Teams. In 2010, it raised its first round of funds amounting to $6 million from a group of investors led by Union Square Ventures. Seven years later, it released an official app on Android and iOS. Next-generation of solutions fueled by the remote work environment As more people worked from home during the coronavirus pandemic, Stack Overflow saw an uptake in the amount of activity for Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services. According to Chandrasekar, this is fueled by the popularity of visual models which are enabled by a cloud force — and almost the nearly $1 trillion of spend that’s moving towards the public cloud. Movements like DevOps — practices that combine software development and IT operations to shorten a system’s development life cycle — have also seen a marked increase. “All of this is fueled by the remote world environment,” remarked Chandrasekar. The pandemic and the culture of communities has leveled the playing field for everyone.

<ul><li><keyword id="9894646" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="stack-overflow-for-teams">Stack Overflow for Teams</keyword> will now have an unlimited free version available to groups of up to 50 developers.</li><li>According to CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar, the aim is to allow companies to create a community internally.</li><li>That is the reason why free usage has not been timeboxed.</li></ul><keyword id="2812596" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Stack-Overflow">Stack Overflow</keyword> for Teams now has a free version. The knowledge and collaboration platform’s free tier will allow up to 50 people to sign on. Moreover, the company <a href="https://stackoverflow.blog/2021/03/17/stack-overflow-for-teams-is-now-free-forever-for-up-to-50-users/">promises</a> that it will remain free forever. Users don’t need to offer credit or debit card details in order to sign up for the free plan. Unlike the Stack Overflow question and answer website, Stack Overflow for Teams is a knowledge management software. Using the public platform is free, but Teams was thus far a paid product. Aside from the limitation on users, the free version of Stack Overflow for Teams has most of the features that are offered in the paid tiers as well. This includes integration with team collaboration apps like Slack and Microsoft Teams. The move shows how CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar is using the foundation that has already been built on the company’s public platform to power the next phase of product-led growth. “We realised through experience, that it was actually not enough time to allow companies to create a community internally and that’s basically what we’re trying to do,” Chandrasekar told <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/17/stack-overflow-adds-a-free-tier-to-its-fast-growing-teams-service/?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS91cmw_cT1odHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnRlY2hjcnVuY2guY29tJTJGMjAyMSUyRjAzJTJGMTclMkZzdGFjay1vdmVyZmxvdy1hZGRzLWEtZnJlZS10aWVyLXRvLWl0cy1mYXN0LWdyb3dpbmctdGVhbXMtc2VydmljZSUyRiZzYT1EJnNvdXJjZT1lZGl0b3JzJnVzdD0xNjE2MTM1MjMxNDUxMDAwJnVzZz1BT3ZWYXcwNEhuV2tKd2FyTGMza3Q1WmZpTm4t&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAEv0uFnI7FTFurZbNg-Y0uWCcWmrHxb0ifxXCCQHBBFxbYWjNGMqPMJzaTUwrUG_T2IEiux6UZaibwZyW7eoj59aqA4CsBe0QIsKQseC0KW-Mp5nas15Ih-sihjiI0q2acrI-9Z5Z9h9CmfeMxsvluMJ-ayWLtWSq_rryzmyrp4f">TechCrunch</a> while explaining having a timeboxed free trial didn’t make sense for the company. Community, brand and product approach According to Chandrasekar, companies usually think about their product first and then their brand. Communities are the last run on the ladder, which most tend to ignore. But, for Stack Overflow, that was the starting point. “Communities will be absolutely essential for companies to really accelerate their development in the new digital world,” Chandrasekar said at the Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/enterprise/news/stack-overflow-ceo-prashanth-chandrasekar-explains-how-stack-overflow-flipped-the-script-on-software-development/articleshow/78854564.cms">Global Trends Festival</a>, last year. He pegs that around 60% of software developers worldwide sample Stack Overflow — that’s around 26 million to 27 million developers. And, this strategy has worked just fine for the 12-year old American startup created by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky. “All of this is fueled by the remote world environment,” Chandrasekar told Business Insider. The company started as a community — a messaging forum, really — then built itself into a brand and now has a product to offer — Teams. The explosion of work-from-home during the COVID-19 pandemic seems to have helped the startup. In fact, Stack Overflow’s <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/stack-overflow-is-using-its-85-million-to-boost-teams-and-it-wants-to-use-it-to-crack-the-india-market/articleshow/77972020.cms">$85 million from its Series E funding</a> was mostly aimed at developing Stack Overflow for Teams.
