In this January 2021 account, Marco uses Zapier to discuss the possibilities of distributed work. He reports a valuation of around $4 billion and roughly $100 million in revenue, then describes the service as connecting platforms to automate tasks. The story centres on three founders who begin collaborating remotely and maintain that model as they grow, reducing geographical constraints when finding colleagues. The passage includes Competenze.it advertising and a positive account of using Zapier. The figures and reconstruction are presented as the speaker's dated account, rather than verified current company data.

Key points

• Zapier is introduced through economic figures reported in the 2021 account.
• The example describes connecting platforms to automate tasks.
• Remote-work growth is linked to organisational continuity and access to colleagues elsewhere.
