Quotes from Luca Mastrorocco:

“Without the right infrastructure, obviously, the app cannot really work properly. We like to give the digital infrastructure or the infrastructure of the app a very prominent role in our work.”

“Conversion fund is being how we make sure that we don’t just stop where our user downloads. We make sure to convert them into paying users.”

“We really care about the look and feel of the app.”

“No business wants to just acquire users for the sake of it.”
