We’re excited to announce that Kile Lindgren, our Solution Architect, has been selected as a Storyblok MVP for 2026. The announcement was made on the JoyConf stage in Amsterdam earlier this month.

This is a meaningful recognition not just for Kile personally, but for BizStream as a whole, reinforcing our deep partnership and commitment to the Storyblok ecosystem.

I’m honored to be selected for the Storyblok MVP Program, joining an incredible community of developers, creators, and strategists who are shaping the future of headless content management. After serving as a Storyblok Ambassador, this next step is a great opportunity to continue sharing insights, building innovative experiences, and helping our clients succeed with Storyblok and composable web technologies. Grateful to be part of such an inspiring global community that values collaboration, learning, and innovation.

What Is the Storyblok MVP Program?

Launched in 2025, the Storyblok MVP Program celebrates the builders, educators, and leaders who are shaping the future of content by driving adoption, community engagement, and innovation.

MVP Roles

Storyblok defines several “roles” for MVPs, each recognizing different kinds of impact:

Builder – developers who create and share with the community
Changemaker – those who spotlight Storyblok’s value and drive adoption
Collaborator – implementation partners bridging strategy and execution
Advisor – domain experts helping guide Storyblok’s product evolution
Legend – long-term contributors whose influence has been foundational

MVP Benefits

As a Storyblok MVP, Kile (and other MVPs) receive exclusive benefits including:

Early access to features and private beta programs
Direct connections with internal Storyblok teams
VIP presence at events such as JoyConf
A swag kit, digital badge, and public recognition
Invitations to private dinners, forums, and networking opportunities

The MVP designation is not just ceremonial. It creates a bridge between community voices and the product roadmap, amplifying feedback and innovation.

Why This Matters for BizStream and Our Clients

Deepened Storyblok Expertise – Kile’s role as an MVP strengthens our direct line to Storyblok engineers and decision-makers, giving BizStream unique insight into upcoming features, architecture plans, and partner opportunities.
Enhanced Credibility as a Storyblok Partner – We already have a strong track record of Storyblok implementations and a history of being one of the most experienced Storyblok partners in the U.S. Kile’s MVP status further validates our technical edge and domain authority in the headless CMS space.
Better Outcomes for Clients – Because MVPs help influence product direction and get early access to new features, our clients benefit from being early adopters of innovations, smoother integrations, and custom enhancements.
Exposure and Thought Leadership – Kile’s recognition elevates his personal brand and ours. It helps position BizStream as a go-to Storyblok agency and headless CMS expert. That translates to more opportunity, partnerships, and trust in the market.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a headless CMS?

A headless CMS separates content management (backend) from presentation (frontend). That allows content to be delivered via APIs to websites, apps, AR/VR, and other digital experiences, giving flexibility in how and where content is used.

What makes Storyblok different among headless CMS platforms?

Developer-friendly: API-first, supports GraphQL/REST, and framework agnostic
Content-editor-friendly: the Visual Editor allows non-technical teams to preview content changes in context
Modular content via Bloks (reusable components)
Built-in infrastructure for image services, CDN, localization, and content governance

What is the Storyblok Partner Program?

The Partner Program supports agencies and system integrators that build client work on Storyblok. Partners gain access to co-marketing, training, revenue share, and early product engagement opportunities

What obligations does a Storyblok MVP have?

MVPs represent Storyblok through community contributions such as talks, podcasts, writing, reference calls, or tutorials. These contributions help maintain recognition and foster community growth.

How is an Storyblok MVP selected?

Storyblok evaluates candidates based on contributions, community impact, technical leadership, and alignment with program goals.
