Challenges faced

1.Intellectual Idea Protection

Armed with a small yet experienced team, Sav had decided to outsource some product production activities to outside parties. This was during the peak Covid-19 period. Purvi talks about her experiences from evading to sharing files to confidently sharing files using CloudFiles.

2.Consolidating inputs from advisors

Team Sav relied on CloudFiles to share pitch decks with advisors. This allowed them to get valuable insights into which slides are being ignored and which slides attract the most attention. This helped them create the best version of their pitch decks.

Purvi, further adds a few anecdotes regarding incidences while sharing files. If you are a startup founder, or anyone dealing with confidential files. This case study will help you understand the challenges faced and how to overcome those adversities.
