– Profits with Purpose with Marc Freedman and Yanik Silver Episode 034 with Harrison Tang
Harrison Tang is the co-founder and CEO president of Spokeo, which he created in 2006 with a group of four friends from Stanford University. They envisioned a new way to approach social networks by providing an easy user interface to keep track of friends’ activities online. Since then, Spokeo has grown into a leading people search engine, reconnecting individuals to others all across the United States
Spokeo and Harrison have both received multiple accolades acknowledging the company’s growth and success. Harrison was a recipient of the prestigious Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in Los Angeles in 2015, and the company has been featured on a variety of “fastest growing” and "most promising" lists including “Los Angeles Business Journal,” “Forbes,” “Deloitte” and “Inc.”
Listen to this latest episode of Profits with Purpose where we talk with Harrison Tang about, knowledge-based business, leveraging data for good, and unit economics
In this episode, we discuss:
How Harrison convinced his friends to join him in creating Spokeo and how the company grew from the original idea of being a social network aggregator Explaining unit economicsThe purpose of Spokeo as a knowledge-based business and how they stand out from the competition by being transparent and vertically integrated How staying disciplined and efficient time management helps Harrison balance his multiple endeavors while running multiple businessesWhy the most important thing that a person can do in their life is choose what problems to solveHow Spokeo is influencing the leverage of data for goodHarrison's father’s advice to him when he ran out of cash
I hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have. Harrison Tang was so generous to discuss knowledge-based business, leveraging data for good, and unit economics
