- Entrepreneurship
Peter Hsu is the founder and CEO…of a stealthy co we can't mention much about yet,
but more importantly over the course of 6.5 years Peter has served as a General Manager & COO for some of the most beloved marketplaces, with a proven track record as a successful OPERATOR.
He was the former COO of Bellhops, a full service MOVING marketplace operating in 40+ cities, where he supercharged growth to a 2.5x annual growth rate, switched from - to + contribution margin.
Before this, Peter served as General Manager of UBEREATS for the Southeast US region where he built UberEATS from pre-revenue in Atlanta to the dominant food delivery offering in the Southeast.
This conversation was impressive and a delight. Peter shares some tasty unspoken nuggets around successfully growing the supply side of a marketplace, along with the added complexity of a "3rd side" (restaurants) and the need to take care of your SUPPLY.
We dive deep into…hiring for "leaving velocity", steps to a MARKETPLACE flywheel, being supply constrained, and how marketplaces are their own form of "magic".
This episode is particularly valuable for anyone who wants to learn from an EXPERIENCED operator in the early days of household name marketplaces,oR a product manager or founder in a startup in the food delivery or transportation industry or B2B plays.
