Charity's been running honeycomb.io, a SaaS startup with millions of dollars of revenue, for 9 years now, after being an early-stage engineer at Parse, a mobile backend-as-a-service startup that powered half a million mobile apps. She's talking about what she's made a reality at her company and its clients.
