Serially Successful or just BARKing Mad: Meet Matt Meeker, founder of Meetup and BARK

In this episode we meet the insanely talented, and somehow equally humble, Matt Meeker.

Matt has founded not 1 but 2 incredibly successful startups, each worth hundreds of millions.

Over the years, Matt made the move from a networking startup loved by knitters, witches and thousands of other underserved communities, to start a direct to consumer dog treat and toy subscription service.

When you look at his startups from outside, it feels like there’s no obvious link, but when you hear his story, it becomes clear why he’s been so successful in two such different spaces.

Matt’s companies come from incredible passion, an eye for the underserved and an ability to hold his own ideas lightly, testing his assumptions and constantly learning from customers (even when they’re pigs)
