First Monday with Bitrise & Lead Ventures
We’re happy to welcome Barnabás Birmacher, CEO at Bitrise, for our next First Monday on March 2, in a fireside chat moderated by Ádám Csuhai, Partner at Lead Ventures.
Bitrise is the first Hungarian company to join Y Combinator and has raised $95M+ from top-tier investors including Insight Partners and OpenOcean. What started as mobile CI/CD has grown into a multi-product platform—CI/CD, Build Caching, Release Management, and Insights—built around one goal: mobile developer efficiency.
In this fireside chat, we’ll go behind the scenes of Bitrise’s recent chapter: the efficiency transition that helped them reach profitability while getting back to fast growth, and the operating decisions that made it possible.
Topics
• Founder mode & leadership reset
• Rebuilding the GTM engine post-downturn
• Efficiency that compounds (profitability, transparency, AI + infra wins)
• Product strategy: from CI/CD to a full DevOps suite
Note: Lead Ventures recently entered Bitrise via a secondary transaction, buying out some early investors—Ádám Csuhai will bring this fresh investor perspective into the conversation.
