Beyang talks with Ravi Parikh, founder and CEO of Airplane. Airplane is a developer tool for turning one-off scripts into internal mini-apps that can be used by technical and non-technical users across the company.

Ravi shares his journey as a programmer, how he got into computers at a young age, took a brief detour to become a professional musician, and then started his first software company, Heap Analytics, with his friend Matin Movassate. Beyang and Ravi discuss what took Heap from idea to billion dollar company. Ravi discusses founder-led support and the ways he and Matin managed Heap’s growth from an analytics tool geared towards developers to a full-fledged analytics platform with users across product, sales, and marketing.

Ravi explains the seed concepts that led to the founding of Airplane and then demos how to use Airplane to turn a one-off support script into an internal mini-app that you can reuse again and again. The conversation concludes with a discussion of what’s next for Ravi and Airplane.
