- Entrepreneurship
Kevin Lee, co-founder of immi, comes from a background in VC and product management, and brought his learnings from those experiences to guide his success as a founder. In this episode he shares his insights on making the most of every hire, delegation, and creating processes and culture that allow the whole business to grow and thrive.
In this episode Jason was curious about how Kevin Lee and his partner developed immi, the world’s first high-protein plant-based instant ramen, but more than the product, he wanted to focus on the people. Kevin is known for being a leader, and as a young founder himself, Jason was curious, how was Kevin able to go from working with money to managing a business and scaling up to having a thriving staff in such a short time? Kevin shares candidly about what he had to unlearn to become a good delegator, the team-wide written exercises that took his team to the next level, and his standards for hiring and setting expectations in a way that makes the most out of each person’s time at his company. Going it alone will only get a company so far and Kevin’s vision for growing the entire immi team will be inspiring and helpful in pragmatic ways to any entrepreneur at the beginning of their hiring journey.
