Abstract
Sonar was founded in 2008 by 3 founders who decided to bootstrap the company with a mission to help developer produce better code and therefore do a better job. 17 years later, the company has 700 employees and is worth several billions.
In this presentation, I am going to look back and discuss what I think have been the key success factors for Sonar, but also the pitfalls, trying to share what I learned during the journey.
