Uncorking the niche: Learn from the woman vineyards rely on

Join us for an inspiring evening with Laurie Millotte, the design-driven, non-technical founder behind Outshinery. How do you take a service-based business, scale it globally, and eventually transform it into a self-serve SaaS platform - all while modernizing an industry as traditional as wine? Join us for an inspiring evening with Laurie Millotte, the design-driven, non-technical founder behind Outshinery. Starting with the realization that "no one asked for this," Laurie bootstrapped Outshinery into a global creative-tech powerhouse. Today, thousands of beverage brands worldwide rely on her company for photorealistic product imagery. Most recently, she unveiled Outshinery Lite, a self-serve tool conceived and engineered entirely here in Valencia, proving that you don't need to be in Silicon Valley - or be a software engineer - to build world-class tech. In a candid fireside chat with Matthias, Laurie will share the reality of outsider thinking, the pivot from agency work to automation, and the art of managing a global team from the sunny coast of Spain. Come and learn with us: • From “no one asked for this” to industry standard How a design-led, non-technical founder bootstrapped Outshinery into a global creative-tech company — and why outsider thinking sometimes beats engineering-first. • Remote teams: the good, the painful, and the surprisingly funny Building a fast, multicultural remote team by hiring people who are smarter than you at what they do, then giving them the trust and tools to run with it. • Lessons from marketing to one of the world’s oldest, most change-resistant industries Why disrupting wine & spirits imagery taught her how buyers think, what they trust, and how visuals can do the selling long before the copy does.
