We talk about the importance of the hiring process in the founding process of start-ups, how building the right team can impact the success of your company.

We talk about their YC experience and how that accelerated their growth and how they are approaching their continued growth and refining their product’s foundations. We talk about the best growth strategies and the benefits of focusing on the user experience and the importance of talking to users to understand the “why” that can’t be captured in data analytics.
