When Rob Walling launched Drip, he was doing $7K in monthly recurring revenue. But he quickly realized that his revenue had already flat-lined and that he had a high customer churn problem. He was competing with behemoths like Mail Chimp and Marketo with a team of just 3 engineers. Drip started as a simple opt-in pop-up with an autoresponder. It then evolved into an email service provider, to finally become a marketing automation platform. That’s when it hit real product-market fit and churn immediately started plummeting. Rob sold Drip to Leadpages almost 3 years ago. Recently, he started TinySeed, an early stage VC fund and remote accelerator that aims to fill a gap in the market by providing funding to SaaS companies who don’t aim for the 100 million dollar goal.

Products collect more data on us than ever before.

In the context of connecting billions of people around the world on platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, they’re having a negative effect on society that is degrading our trust in each other and the system that govern. Today, we talk about the ways that feedback loops are shaping the way we think and how people in positions of wealth and power exploit them, and create a more negative and mean-spirited world in its wake. *** This episode is brought to you by: Hawke Media: Get a free consultation on your business when you visit hawkemedia.com/podcast and use the promo code ROCKET.
