The global recession is a turbulence time for all businesses. We have used to be afraid of scenarios that may play out during and after the financial downturn. Different sources define this period as "a significant decline in economic activity, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in the real gross domestic product (GDP), real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales." But, what if I’d say that the most iconic unicorns have been started during a recession? Apple, Mailchimp, Slack, WhatsApp, Microsoft, Pinterest, General Motors, CNN, IBM, Uber, Groupon, Instagram, and more. The history of big brands founded during a recession may be enriched with new startups today. It's the right time for entrepreneurs to honestly ask themselves whether to innovate? COVID-19 is a startup disaster or a boost “Many of today’s unicorns have been founded or built during recessions or downturns – resource scarcity can be a source of creativity and pivoting” – , Founder and Managing Partner at Voima Ventures. Inka Mero Microsoft (1975) In the early 1970-s, the USA experienced a difficult and long-lasting economic depression. At that time, the GDP got its worst position for the next few decades. However, it sounded like a perfect time to start a company for two college dropouts who created the concept of free, easy, and enjoyable home and office computing. Photo from The Associated Press Bill Gates and Paul Allen have shown the world that even the darkest times in the global economy aren't the limitation for emerging technologies that enter the market and disrupt industries with its brilliant innovations. Their development promised to eliminate the highest boundaries for many businesses worldwide, and it helped Microsoft to grow into one of the most successful and authoritative companies in the world. Apple (1975, 2001) Apple was founded much earlier during another . However, the Apple we know today has literally got the second birth during the . That financial crash infected many businesses with fear and paralyzed their processes. However, there were also those who took a different approach and started working harder, investing more, and creating new products. recession in 1975 dot-com bubble in 2001 Despite all the challenges arisen during the tech bubble, Steve Jobs started building Apple's next iconic music player - iPod. Its name was inspired by the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey." After the only one year of development, iPod was launched in October 2001 and become the technology hit for millions of people around the world. It also paved the way for iPad and iPhone, helping to re-establish Apple as the most successful consumer electronics brand of that time and today. "We believe in investing during downturns." - , Apple's former COO and current CEO. Tim Cook Mailchimp (2009) Mailchimp is also familiar with how it feels to survive and drastically innovate during financial downturns. This world-famous company has also been transformed during the global economic crisis. Mailchimp was initially focused on serving solely big enterprise clients with yearly retainers. However, the Great Recession during 2008-2009 dictated new rules, and the company was forced to rethink its business model entirely. Mailchimp's great decision was to add a freemium business in 2009. That change brought incredible results - with only one year, Mailchimp's user base grew up from 85,000 to 450,000. Groupon (2008) Groupon was founded during the Great Recession in 2008. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded that it was "the most severe economic and financial meltdown since the Great Depression." At that time, Andrew Mason created a website that promoted other businesses by offering deals on their services and products to customers. It was Groupon. Photo by Stephen Yang via Getty Images The hard economic times weren't the obstacle for Andrew Mason to found a company that was able to deliver the highest-quality and great-performing marketing for businesses worldwide and help them bring the communication with their customers to the next level. With its ultra-creative approaches to marketing, Groupon showed companies a new way to introduce their products to customers. Slack (2009) Slack has become one of the most famous work messaging apps, especially today, during the Coronavirus crisis, when everybody is working from home. But, did you know that it was founded during the economic crisis too? The Great Recession (2009) was a great time for Stewart Butterfield to build a new business communication platform. Slack has literally become a magic wand for many businesses today. "In some senses, we were made for this. Slack's not specifically a "work from home" tool; it's more of a "create organizational agility" tool. But an all-at-once transition to remote work creates a lot of demand for organizational agility." - Stewart Butterfield via Twitter Conclusion Are you still thinking that a recession means the death of startups by default? I wouldn't be so sure about this… The global economic crisis is a challenging time for each and every one. However, it may also be a perfect time for those who are ready to rethink their business models, incorporate innovations in their processes and approaches, listen to what their customers need right now, and continue to implement their big ideas delivering new amazing products and services.

Unicorn Startup Companies Founded During a Recession

Originally published at www.cloudways.com on December 6, 2016. Not many people realize that their choice of hosting solution could determine the success or failure of their project. Even the best code base fails to perform to its maximum potential because of a hosting solution that fails to provide appropriate support. Hosting a website or a web application in the cloud could be a technically challenging endeavour. The server size needs to be determined, server has to be setup and then the appropriate application/platform is installed. Not many people, even in the ICT industry, are able to set up and manage servers. Since a number of entrepreneurs and online business owners do not possess the required technical skills to manage the servers that host their applications and/or store, they either need to hire system administrators (not a cost effective choice for startups) or deal with regular server and application crashes. Given this, it is no wonder that managed cloud hosting is a rapidly growing sector of the overall hosting industry. More and more people now opt for managed cloud hosting for their projects because of the many benefits of the hosting solution. Why Industry Leaders Recommend Managed Cloud Hosting? In order to understand why many industry leaders recommend managed cloud hosting for PHP projects, it is important to understand the benefits of these hosting solutions. In effect, managed cloud hosting offers three important benefits. The first and the most important benefit is the fact that these solution providers handle all the hassles of server management. All the user has to do is to decide the basic parameters including RAM, bandwidth and server location. The hosting solution provider takes care of everything else. The second benefit is the improved security of the web application. Server and application level security is an ongoing task and i particularly important for PHP applications. Even the most dedicated of the user could not keep up with the routine of applying security patches. The managed hosting solution provider takes care of all security related issues from patch application to threat detection and management. Finally, managed cloud hosting providers offer scalable solutions that are ideal for ecommerce websites. Scalability is an important business process requirement that comes in handy during crunch times. At these moments, having the capacity (and capability) of increasing server resources prevents the web store from crashing. Let’s see what industry leaders have to say about the uses and benefits of managed cloud hosting: Anna Filina | Twitter LinkedIn It makes a lot of sense to offer managed hosting solutions, since not every developer even knows how to manage servers. It took me many years to learn how to do it, then many more years to learn how to do it properly. Even for those who can do it, it can be too much of a hassle. Time is precious. Nicolas Grekas | Twitter LinkedIn Managed hosting solutions provide great value. They allow devs to focus on their core issue: solving business problems. I can’t wait until infrastructure as a code is really ready for the masses. Adam Wathan | Twitter LinkedIn I haven’t used Cloudways myself, but I’m a huge fan of any product that tries to help developers focus on launching their next idea instead of wasting time on server configuration. Benjamin Eberlei | Twitter LinkedIn Managed Hosting or Platform as a Service is very valuable to get projects started, when you don’t have enough time or experience with the operations part of web development. The requirements for a good platform has changed drastically in the last 15 years with the arrival of AWS (IaaS), Heroku (PaaS) or Docker (FaaS). I think the separation of companies providing hosting resources and management and software platforms on top is a very welcome occurrence because it introduces much needed specialization. AWS and Digital Ocean provide very powerful hosting platforms but will never perfectly support PHP stack in every detail. Thus, managed hosting companies like Cloudways that build on top of the modern clouds functionality are very useful. Josh Lockhart | Twitter I believe hosted solutions like Cloudways, Heroku, or Platform.sh are *amazing* tools to quickly stage and launch PHP applications without having to worry about infrastructure. I strongly encourage exploring these hosted platforms because they abstract away most infrastructure concerns. Sometimes you just want to write and deploy code without worrying about how to setup, provision, and monitor servers. If the price is right, use a hosted platform. Managing and monitoring servers isn’t fun. Let others do that for you. Tessa Mero | Twitter LinkedIn With 1 click installations, make sure you always offer the latest version of Joomla. When I see a hosting platform offer an outdated version of Joomla, instantly I’ll never ever recommend anyone to use them for life. Also, the default PHP version is pretty important too. Too many hosts fail at providing this. Lorna Mitchell | Twitter LinkedIn For the 99% of people, I really think that if you’re not using a Platform as a Service (PAAS), you’re wasting your time. Yes, you often need to learn a few things to get setup, but from personal experience, this is a *massive* investment for the future. I might spend 8 hours today setting up some complex things in a PAAS, and enjoy one-click (one second) deploys for the next 12+ months. That’s a huge time and money saver. If I never have to manually spin up a server on Amazon, I’ll be happy. I’ve never tried Cloudways specifically, but the space is still wide open. One of the biggest opportunities as a consumer of PAAS is the ability to have a micro-service architecture. If my app is 6 mini-apps, it’s almost a non-starter to try to do this with traditional hosting. But if a ‘git push’ deploys them all and they’re able to talk with each other, now we’re in business. Yitzchok Willroth (@coderrabbi) has a great presentation on micro-service architecture, and automatic deploying is one of his key points. Matt Stauffer | Twitter LinkedIn I love the idea of managed hosting solutions in general. I have managed my own servers in the past, and it’s one of those things I put in the stack of “better to pay people other to do for me.” I’m glad I have an accountant I can pay to know about taxes for me. Glad I have a lawyer. Glad I have a plumber. And I’m glad I have folks who run SaaSes that make my development life easier–including hosting and dev-ops. Manuel Lemos | Twitter LinkedIn Managed hosting can be wonderful when you need to scale your applications when they do not fit a single server. There is plenty of knowledge out there on the Web you can use to learn how to assemble all the required parts to implement a scalable solution but having it done by somebody that is in the field for many years is often worth the investment of outsourcing that effort. Gabriela Davila | Twitter LinkedIn I am always interested to see how companies manage to enable developers to learn and explore the new options and technologies available in the market. I think you do a great job with one-click install apps, because everything is contained inside the same server and easily manageable. When you talk directly about database hosting, it implies having the application in the same network too because of latency and such. One idea I would be interested in seeing in action would be getting a big client with high traffic and database needs and remove the DB from that one-click install and seeing how that goes. There is a lot going into tuning, specially for Magento, I think you could do good things with that experience. As you can see, PHP experts and Industry leaders strongly favor managed hosting. If you wish to try out managed hosting for your existing or upcoming projects, I recommend Cloudways, which comes with a trial period.

Why PHP Influencers Endorse Managed Cloud Hosting

Let's cut through the noise: Our state, this intricate socioeconomic and political beast, is nothing but a fortress manned by relentless gatekeepers. They stand guard, ensuring that groundbreaking technologies like AI remain mere spectators in the grand play of employment, growth, and stability.This state we're in? It's a Kafkaesque nightmare, a convoluted labyrinth where rules, regulations, and pretentious power plays thrive. It's a world where money speaks, contracts bind, and patents choke creativity. Everything, from the smallest code to the largest border, is caged within this colossal castle where size does, unfortunately, matter. And the purpose of this grand design? It's to perpetuate the gatekeepers, to breed an army of them under the guise of jobs and progress. Yet, the irony! Many don't even see themselves as gatekeepers anymore. They've donned the masks of knowledge workers, researchers, project managers - but the gates they guard? Oh, they're as real as the money they covet, the interest they demand, and the copyright they fiercely protect. These gatekeepers, they create zilch of real value. That's why economic forces barely graze them. Invent a computer to replace a million clerks? Watch them smirk as they double the number of clerks, erecting more gates, more barriers. What's the epitome of this gatekeeping farce? Look no further than the crypto world. It started as a wild west of innovation, free from the clutches of traditional gatekeeping. Yet, what happened? Mining pools morphed into mini fortresses, regulators swarmed in demanding compliance, KYC, anti-money laundering measures – you name it. And soon, only a few big players got the golden ticket, building their own walls and charging entry at their shiny new gates. Even the bigwigs in AI are eyeing the government, craving their own set of walls and gates. And let's not forget the ultimate gate: Money. The government, ever so generously, distributes banking licenses while the banks, in their ivory towers, demand ludicrous entry fees.It's a world where innovation suffocates under the weight of gatekeeping, where progress is but a distant dream. The state, with its army of gatekeepers, ensures that. My point is that technology will not replace jobs in a state of gatekeepers. note: . ChatGPT did a edit of this article - I asked it for a more bloggish tone. I changed a few things after

The State: A Fortress of Gatekeepers Crushing Innovation

The adoption of digital technology has probably reached an all-time high, with the rapid transformation of business processes and services from non-digital to digital. According to recent studies, global spending on digital transformation is expected to hit $3.4 trillion by 2026. It has also been forecasted that the United States will account for 35% of this global spending and could pass the $1 trillion mark in 2025. Several technology leaders have taken lead roles in bringing about this much-needed change in America. Naga Simhadri Apparao Polireddi, an expert in secure web chatbots and web development, has made remarkable contributions through his path-breaking innovations. He is highly rated for his knowledge and expertise in designing AI/ML language models, developing rules using Natural Language Processing (NLP), and creating chatbot applications with technologies such as NodeJS, Java/J2EE, Python Machine Learning (ML) libraries, Dialog flow, TensorFlow, ECMAScript 6, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Spring Boot Microservices. A Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering and a Master of Computer Science from Arizona State University (ASU), Polireddi started his illustrious career in 2002 as an Assistant Professor at Sree Dattha Institute of Engineering & Science College, Hyderabad, India. In the earlier part of his career, he also worked with Hewlett-Packard Global soft (hp), Wipro Technologies, and Infinite Computer Solutions as a Software Developer/ Java Technical Leader. As part of a multi-million-euro collaboration between TATA Consultancy Services (TCS) and Nokia Siemens Networks, Polireddi served as an Assistant Consultant at TATA Consultancy Services from 2010 to 2012, stationed at the client location of Nokia Siemens Networks in Lisbon, Portugal. He conducted a review of the architecture of the Nokia product NetAct and identified defects, including mismatched network element names in the network element Drop-down menu, incorrect passing of Network element code while submitting network element personalization software to the network, and refresh issue of network element alarms.  He was also involved in the development of the NetAct File-Based CM Events module utilizing Java technology. From 02/2012 to 03/2013, Polireddi was part of Saudi Telecommunication Company's (STC) project IRB (infinys rating and billing) upgrade aimed to upgrade its billing operations to new technologies in the core area of GSM and 4G business using 1RB5.1.7 and Billing and Rating management application (BRM) software package from Netcracker Technology Corp. This upgrade helped Saudi Telecommunication Company (STC) gain a customer-focused, service management approach to their operational processes, enabling them to automate and integrate their order fulfillment, customer service management, and billing functions across multiple product and service offerings while reducing the operational cost of USD 2.5M. As part of a TCS project,  Polireddi also served Singapore Airlines from March 2013 to June 2015, undertaking the design and development of a customized solution for the company's Amadeus Altéa product by developing the PODS (Passenger Operational Data distributed System) module. Utilizing his knowledge of airline domain and IOS Web development technologies, he developed a tablet-based CrewCollab product for Singapore Airlines, which was later sold by TCS to clients worldwide. Some of Polireddi’s most important projects were executed during his tenure with Cognizant, serving American Express. From 06/2017 – 08/2018, he handled the American Express Instant “Member Card Number” project, which led to the creation of a first-of-its-kind solution for the credit card industry. Following this game-changing project, American Express customers were provided with an instant membership, contributing to an increase in spending with a business value exceeding $20 million. From 05/2019 until 01/2022, Polireddi worked as the Software Architect for the American Express "Rubiks and Gambit" project, which aimed to introduce a "no negative credit impact" in the card application process. This allows prospective cardholders to submit an application for a credit card and find out if they’re approved before undergoing a hard credit check. Unlike hard credit checks, this soft credit check approval feature has no impact on the applicant’s credit score. With the live implementation of this project, American Express achieved a projected revenue gain of $211 Million. Presently working with IKON Tech Services, Polireddi has designed an AI Chatbot for American Express apply website. This chatbot is capable of streamlining operational processes and improving user experience by facilitating immediate response to user queries, effectively handling high-volume interactions, and ultimately expediting credit card acquisitions for American Express. Following this development, over 90,000 conversations were held over the 90 days while reducing operational costs by 30%. Polireddi's current project for Verizon features the introduction of a groundbreaking GPS solution known as Hyper Precise Location (HPL) using Real-Time Kinematics (RTK). This technology ensures location accuracy within one to two centimeters on the Verizon 5G network, which is crucial for autonomous vehicles and high-definition (HD) maps. The project involved seamless integration of AWS cloud solutions with Node.js application deployment practices, garnering attention from multiple Fortune 500 clients for Verizon. “I strongly believe that secure web chatbots have the potential to become the primary channel for customer service in years to come. The combination of NLP and ML has enabled chatbots to understand conversations more intelligently, comprehend the nuances of query intention, and improve their accuracy in executing commands, even in technical situations,” said Polireddi. “It is a matter of great pride for me to be able to utilize my knowledge and wisdom in building a digitally transformed America.” References: https://explodingtopics.com/blog/digital-transformation-stats Vested Interest Disclosure: This author is an independent contributor publishing via our business blogging program.
