About the Founders Pond Blog

I’m Bart Kiszala. Great to meet you and welcome to Founders Pond! Let me introduce myself. I started my first business when I was 22. A few years later I co-funded Base CRM. I worked on a product for 10 years as the CPO till 2018 when the company was acquired by Zendesk. 

Currently I’m building Founders Pond. It’s an initiative to help beginner founders build companies.  You can read more about it here.

Founders Pond blog will focus on publishing my personal perspective - learnings and insights both from running Base as well as from companies I’ve invested in.  

If you are a founder, planning to start or work in a startup, or maybe you're curious about the space I hope you’ll find the content interesting. 

The best way to understand how I can help is to read the blog, however in a nutshell I hope to  support you in the following categories:

  • Provide an early financing for your startup

  • Advice on how to 

    • Start 

    • Build a better product 

    • Get more customers 

    • Manage a team/ hire people  

    • Raise money

  • Connect with people who might be relevant for you

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out at bart@founderspond.com or DM me at @kiszal on Twitter. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
