Fascinating conversation around:
- The core functions of a marketplace
- Pricing as a behavioural nudge
- Making your product feel native internationally
+ don’t miss today’s Blocks. 9 excellent resources on marketplaces and related topics.

Thanks for having me on the show and for the great conversation, @patrick_oshag! Love working with @kvnlw and the rest of the @cambly team to help English learners all over the world.
My conversation with Sameer Shariff, founder and CEO of @cambly
This feels like a potentially monster business hiding in plain sight
Sameer shares a ton of lessons about building marketplaces and everything else he’s learned along the way
Enjoy!
