About Andrey Khusid
Who is Andrey Khusid?
Andrey Khusid is the co-founder and CEO of Miro, the visual collaboration platform used by millions of teams to think and build together. He started the company in 2011 with a deceptively simple idea — put a whiteboard inside the browser — after running a creative agency where collaborating remotely on ideas and projects with clients was painfully hard.
Originally launched as RealtimeBoard, the product grew from a single online whiteboard into a category-defining collaboration platform spanning SMBs, enterprises, and Fortune 100 companies. Under Khusid's leadership Miro scaled to more than 45 million registered users and offices across multiple global hubs, becoming one of the defining tools of the distributed-work era.
Khusid is a recurring voice at SaaStock, where he has shared the founder's view of hyper-growth, the operational decisions that compound early, and — more recently — how generative AI is reshaping how marketing and sales teams work. This page collects every recorded SaaStock keynote, panel, fireside chat, and interview featuring Andrey Khusid, with transcripts.
About Miro
Miro is an online visual collaboration platform — an infinite digital canvas where distributed teams run workshops, map systems, plan products, and brainstorm in real time. Founded in 2011 and headquartered between Amsterdam and San Francisco, it grew on the back of the shift to remote and hybrid work, becoming a default tool for product, design, and engineering teams.
The platform serves the full market, from individual practitioners and small teams on self-serve plans up to large enterprises and Fortune 100 organizations with dedicated security, admin, and integration needs. That land-and-expand motion — a free, viral whiteboard that pulls in entire organizations — is a textbook example of product-led growth, and a recurring theme in Khusid's SaaStock talks.
More recently Miro has leaned into AI, embedding generative features directly into the canvas so teams can summarize, cluster, and generate work without leaving the board — the subject of Khusid's 2023 SaaStock session on generative AI's implications for marketing and sales teams.
Key lessons from Andrey Khusid's talks
Start from a real friction, not a market. Miro began because Khusid himself couldn't collaborate well with remote clients while running an agency. The whiteboard-in-a-browser idea was a fix for his own daily pain — a reminder that the most durable products often start as a founder scratching their own itch rather than chasing a category.
Early decisions compound. In his 2022 fireside on the road to hyper-growth, Khusid's framing is that the choices made in the earliest days — who you serve, how the product spreads, what you say no to — set the trajectory long before the growth shows up in the numbers. Hyper-growth is the visible result of unglamorous decisions made years earlier.
Serve the whole market deliberately. Miro's expansion from SMB self-serve to enterprise and Fortune 100 wasn't accidental; it's a structured land-and-expand motion where a viral free tool seeds organizations and enterprise revenue follows. The product-led growth flywheel is the engine, not a marketing afterthought.
Treat AI as a shift in how teams work, not a feature. In his 2023 talk, Khusid frames generative AI's impact on marketing and sales as a change in the work itself — what gets automated, what gets faster, and where human judgment still matters — rather than a checkbox to bolt onto an existing product.
