Roundtable Recap: July 14 – Inspiration for First-time Entrepreneurs

Posted on Thursday, Jul 14th 2016

During this week’s roundtable, our guest was Henry Schuck, Co-founder and CEO, DiscoverOrg, a first-time entrepreneur who has bootstrapped his company to $25 million ARR, and then raised private equity financing from TA Associates. Henry sees a clear path to $100 million. Very inspiring story!

Also, we are introducing a new free course for first-time entrepreneurs that I have filmed in collaboration with LinkedIn. Please spend an hour studying it. I believe, you will find it helpful.

Heirloomix
We also fit in one entrepreneur pitch, Robin Aletras from Tennessee. Robin pitched Heirloomix, a concept that is a hosting service for parents to preserve and hand down digital memories to their children.

You can listen to the recording of this roundtable here:

As always, I would very much like to hear about your business, so let me invite you to come and pitch at one of our free 1M/1M public roundtables. We will be holding future roundtables at 8 a.m. PDT on:
