In today's episode, Ryan interviews Mathilde Collin, CEO of Front. Front is a shared inbox for your team and the company is used by startups big and small. They raised a whopping $66 million from Sequoia last year.
Mathilde and Ryan met at Y Combinator, when they were in the same YC batch in Summer 2014. It was at that time that Ryan recognized something special about Mathilde and her team: they build fast and embrace a very transparent culture, which has no doubt led to their success.
In this episode we talk about:
* Why it's important as a founder to remain humble and be willing to do the dirty jobs yourself to understand what it's like to do a job before you hire someone to do it for you.
* Why, contrary to reports of its demise, email is *not *dead.
* How Mathilde manages company culture at a fast-growing startup with offices in both San Francisco and Paris.
* The products she uses to stay sane and productive.
