A Wishpond Video Update:
Smallcap Discoveries hosts Interview with Ali Tajskandar, Chairman
and CEO of Wishpond
Wishpond Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: WISH), (“Wishpond” or the
“Company”), an emerging leader in digital marketing solutions that empower entrepreneurs and businesses
to achieve success online, is pleased to present this virtual sit-down interview with Paul Andreola of Smallcap
Discoveries and Ali Tajskandar, Chairman and CEO of Wishpond.
“I love it when I talk to founders such as yourself,” said Paul
Andreola, Editor of Smallcap Discoveries.
In the interview, Mr. Tajskandar discusses the Company’s strategy, financial
performance, revenue growth plan, and long-term vision. To conclude 2020, Wishpond became listed on the TSXV and
acquired Invigo Media Group. To start 2021, Wishpond acquired Persist IQ.
In the interview, Mr. Tajskandar also commented on what sets Wishpond apart from
its competition:
“The competitive landscape is that there are a lot of siloed players. If you
are a business owner and marketing is not your focus then you do not want to get a bunch of marketing services, pay
different subscription fees, somehow integrate them, and make sense of different data and angles on them. All-in-one
is a big part of it. We add the services and expertise to it as well. We do it for the prices that make sense for
small businesses. Those three really set us apart.”
Mr. Andreola asked about trends helping Wishpond’s growth.
“E-commerce as a whole has been getting a huge lift from everything going on
in the world with COVID throughout the last year and even now, and a lot more companies are getting into
e-commerce,” said Tajskandar. “More and more businesses are taking online more seriously as a matter of
necessity. They may not be e-commerce, but they are a fitness center that now has to have classes online.
Traditional businesses are becoming online businesses and that is exciting in terms of the convenience for the
consumers, but it is also exciting for us because we are at a place where we can help them.”
The interview closed by Mr. Tajskandar speaking to investors about what they
should watch for regarding Wishpond. After speaking to the importance of revenue and EBITDA, he noted acquisitions
and product announcements being a priority for the company.
Mr. Andreola concluded, “You are one of the rare SaaS-based businesses where
you are breaking even or making money.”
