MarketOrders Co-Founder quoted in CIO on IT mistakes sparking success

Our COO & Co-Founder, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in CIO article ‘7 common IT mistakes that can spark future success’.
The journalist, Paul Heltzel, wrote:
Sukhi Jutla, co-founder of MarketOrders, recommends an iterative approach for technology projects, then doing real-time testing.
“Mistakes are a byproduct of finding your way to success or, in other words, finding what actually works,” Jutla says. “It’s highly unlikely you’ll ever launch a product that’s perfect, but you can launch a product where it’s constantly being improved by each user experience. This leads to cumulative positive effects for the long term.”
Jutla has found, in her experience, that too much focus on upfront requirements for a project leads to delays and obsolescence before getting off the ground.

“In the past, I’d spend up to 7-8 months working with the team to identify the requirements needed, only to find that when it came to the actual build, so many features were now already out of date,” she says. “Aim to get a working prototype out as soon as possible to get real-world feedback from real users.”
Jutla now embraces the Scrum methodology because it enables her to re-align goals and plans in real-time. “You have to be prepared to fall flat on your face a few times,” she says, “to bump into a few roadblocks and to fail but knowing that all of this is vital information that you feed back into your next moves.”

Sukhi Jutla, Co-Founder of MarketOrders, recommends an iterative approach to technology projects and then testing them in real-time.
“Mistakes are a by-product if you are looking for the way to success or, in other words if you find out what actually works,” says Jutla. “It is very unlikely that you will ever bring a perfect product to the market, but you can bring a product to the market that is constantly being improved by every user.

MarketOrders Head of PR & Coms quoted in People Looker article on crypto scams

Our Head of PR & Communications, Caroline Hoffmann, was recently quoted in People Looker article ‘Cryptocurrency Scams Even Savvy Investors Can Fall For’.
The article explains what is a cryptocurrency and how you can avoid being scammed.
The journalist wrote:
“A cryptocurrency is a digital currency. It was created to transact on the blockchain, a technology enabling highly secured and fast peer-to-peer online payments using digital contracts,” said Caroline Hoffmann, the head of public relations and communications at MarketOrders in London.
“There are different types of cryptocurrency, which are either called a coin, if it operates on its own blockchain, like bitcoin or ethereum, or a token, if it operates on an existing blockchain,” Hoffmann continued. “Cryptocurrencies are stored in a digital wallet and can be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies such as dollars, euros or pounds.”
Investors can purchase crypto by buying them directly on an exchange, by participating in a public offering similar to the stock market or by “mining” them, Hoffmann said. Investors who “mine” earn cryptocurrency by validating other cryptocurrency transactions on the blockchain.
Here’s how digital currency pros recommend proceeding when considering a crypto investment opportunity:

  1. Before you invest, take the time to understand how the technology works.“Knowledge is power,” Hoffmann stresses. “The first thing I would do before investing in cryptocurrency is take time to understand the basics of the technology, the ecosystem and the industry.”

MarketOrders COO quoted by CEO Blog Nation about being bold in business

Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in CEO Blog Nation article ’15 Entrepreneurs Explain How They Are Bold in Business’.
She said: “In order to be bold in your business, you need to make bold decisions. As a business owner, you need to have total confidence, courage and conviction in your decision-making skills. This often means making decisions, that from the outside, may not make sense to others and who may question you. Being bold for me means pushing past naysayers and moving confidently ahead especially when I know I have made a decision based on data and gut instinct. Being bold also means knowing that things may not always turn out the way you want but knowing you have the ability to bounce back and course-correct as you move forward. Finally, being bold also means bringing a fresh perspective on the way things are done, especially when you are an industry outsider bringing in new changes like digital disruption to a traditionally offline business, where transactions are done in person.”

MarketOrders Co-Founder quoted by The Sun on Bitcoin

Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in The Sun article ‘RAISING THE BAR Bitcoin price suddenly jumps to two-month high as experts debate whether it’s ‘digital gold’’.
The journalist, Alice Grahns, wrote:
Sukhi Jutla, blockchain author and co-founder of gold jewellery marketplace MarketOrders, told The Sun that bitcoin “can be” considered digital gold.
This is partially because similar to gold, bitcoin only exists in limited supply, she explained.
She added: “Once these coins have been mined, no more can be produced.
“That means the value of the asset increases when more people want it.
“For example in times of economic uncertainty, the price of gold increases as investors rush to purchase more gold as its seen as a stable holding.”
Ms Jutla said: “I would say it’s a bad time to buy when all coins have been minted as the prices will be higher for sure!
“In my opinion, it’s still a good bet to buy them now.”
