Founders Succeeding With (Not Against) Incumbents

Founders Succeeding With (Not Against) Incumbents

Most founders are looking to disrupt incumbents. What about those companies that buck the trend? And, what about those founders who didn't realize the length of calls for a free Zoom account?

Paul and Ed start the show with a quick nod to the work from home culture that most of us have embraced during the pandemic.  From Ed's hatred of Microsoft Teams to Paul's shocking realization of how much Zoom can cost for a small team, it's a real-world look into how entrepreneurs are thriving and suffering in WFH.  Speaking of cost, Ed shares a story about a company in fundraising mode that ran out of time during their pitch using a free Zoom account.

 Ed and Paul discuss one of Ed's portfolio companies, Point.me.  They buck the trend of disruption, where the vast majority of founders are looking to disrupt the business of incumbents.  It's somewhat rare to see founders causing disruption that helps incumbents.  

Lastly, Paul tees up a discussion on a new type of accelerator launched by Hubspot.  Paul thinks this is a watershed moment for podcasting and creators and he explains why.


Oh, and he's working on a pretty cool new tool that he's almost ready to launch.
