According to a recent LinkedIn post from Paddle, the company is convening around 80 consumer app founders and growth leaders in Šibenik, Croatia, for a three-day event called B2Coast. The post describes the gathering as focused on off-the-record sessions about what is currently working in consumer app growth and monetization, rather than traditional conference-style presentations.

The post lists a roster of participants, including builders from Helium, Suno, Applause, and Fload, growth specialists with experience at firms such as Spotify and App Masters, and advisors from Houlihan Lokey, BlueThrone, and MFC. Several Paddle team members are highlighted as on-site hosts, suggesting a significant internal resource commitment to engage with this ecosystem.
For investors, the initiative may indicate Paddle’s effort to deepen relationships with high-growth consumer app companies and specialized advisors in app monetization and finance. By positioning itself at the center of discussions on growth tactics and revenue models, Paddle could strengthen its role as an infrastructure and strategic partner for consumer app businesses, potentially supporting future customer acquisition and product refinement.
The presence of advisors from investment banking and app portfolio firms, as cited in the post, may also signal an emphasis on understanding capital flows, M&A dynamics, and lifecycle monetization in the consumer app space. If Paddle can translate insights from B2Coast into improved tooling, pricing strategies, or bundled services for app developers, the event could have a medium-term positive impact on its competitive positioning and revenue opportunities within the broader software monetization market.
