Alex MacCaw is the founder of Clearbit and Reflect, and his journey with each company has been wildly different. Clearbit took more of a “classic” startup approach—raising VC money, hiring hundreds of people, and working from an office in SF. In 2020, he charted a new course by replacing himself as CEO at Clearbit, selling all his possessions and living full-time on a sailboat in the Atlantic. And now he's building his new company Reflect in with a totally different approach —building a fully remote & asynchronous “lifestyle” company that decidedly eschews VC money and the other common hallmarks of a tech startup. Alex shares everything he's learned as a founder and why he believes building startups should not be one-size-fits-all. Blake and Alex talk through: (7:07) Pros/Cons of being asynchronous by design(09:01) Why Alex doesn't believe in remote work for large companies(10:11) Remote work pitfalls(14:21) When to replace yourself as CEO(15:52) How to find your zone of genius(18:31) When do startups hire a CFO or COO?(21:14) #1 piece of advice for founders(24:14) Things to know before you found a startup (B2B vs. B2C)(27:27) Why not raise venture capital(28:28) When startups should (or shouldn't) raise venture capital(29:40) How Reflect started crowdfunding(39:14) What AI and ChatGPT is good for(44:13) Best time to start a company(46:20) Not all startups need VC funding(47:16) Advice for VCs from a founder

Chad Rubin is the Founder and CEO of Profasee, a pricing platform that enables Amazon brands to predict ideal product prices. He leads Profasee's operations and overseas IT strategy. Chad often speaks about e-commerce, Amazon, and leveraging AI strategies on webinars and conferences worldwide. He is also the author of the Amazon bestseller, Cheaper, Easier, Direct. Before Profasee, Chad founded Think Crucial and co-founded Skubana and the Prosper Show. In this episode… Are you an Amazon brand that relies on traditional pricing strategies alone? There's a chance you leave lots of money on the table that could increase your profit margin. So, how can you optimize your Amazon sales, increase your profits, and incorporate AI into your e-commerce businesses? According to Amazon expert Chad Rubin, many brands have great products and even bigger ambitions but leave pricing strategies up to fate. It was the same for Chad with his e-commerce brand. As he looked for new ways to unlock huge profits, he discovered that pricing is the most relevant lever that flows to the bottom line, and it's a huge blind spot to many. Because there are few tools in the Amazon space to test prices, he built a world-class AI model that analyzes hundreds of real-time data points to help e-commerce brands pinpoint the perfect price for them to start profiting.  Tune into this episode of the eComm Breakthrough Podcast with host Josh Hadley as he sits down with Chad Rubin, the Founder and CEO of Profasee. The two discuss how pricing is a challenge to many, how to change prices to maximize profits without sacrificing your BSR, and the importance of leveraging AI as an e-commerce business.

COVID-19 pushed CEOs and their teams to turn remote, and even though plenty of people are willing to go back to the office, the experience will never be the same. ResourcesZapier's The ultimate guide to remote workThe key talking points for this episode:(02:04) - Strong values are the core of remote companies - “In a remote company you could become this odd collection of individuals doing random assignments, you really don't want that.”(06:30) - Interviewing and evaluating prospects remotely - “When you look at these situations, how far does a person go? How far do they try and push it to uncover a thing that seems worth working on?”(08:33) - Growing through feedback - “The best thing you can do for yourself, whether you are a CEO or not, is show that you're a person that likes to get feedback and is good at getting it.”(15:08) - How camaraderie and real connections are built in remote companies - “If you get this stuff right, the culture takes over. The people and the company take over and just start to expand it and build on it.”(31:09) - Why the hybrid model may not be ideal for most companies - “It requires a level of discipline that's even above and beyond what you see in a fully remote company.”(36:25) - Home is the new office: how to upgrade the remote environment - “When we do come back into the workforce, it's not going to be the same office experience that folks have come to love.”(44:55) - Why you should stick to fully remote permanently - “To me, having access to this massive talent pool is just so beneficial to our success.”Support the show (https://themanagershandbook.com/)

Today, Chad is joined by Alex MacCaw, founder and CEO of Clearbit. Alex’s road to entrepreneurship was anything but conventional. Having taught himself programming at a young age, he dropped out of high school at the age of 17 to pursue a full-time career as a software engineer. Living in the London, Alex had intentions to get his visa and move to San Francisco to start his own company. But when he encountered a few roadblocks along the way, he took the opportunity to travel through south-east Asia and South America and wrote two successful books on programming along the way.  He built a remarkable portfolio and big tech companies took notice. Eventually, Twitter offered Alex a job, and from there he was able to pursue his dream of moving to the United States. Shortly afterward, he joined Stripe, working on their product team to create some of the core features that the company is built upon today. But he was yearning for something more and knew it was time to fully self actualize.  “I felt like I had a lot of self-growth to do. I had little idea of the amount of self-growth, but I knew there was something there. So, I wanted to try and start a company, something much bigger and use that to self-actualize,” says Alex. After starting a successful lifestyle company called Sourcing.io and selling it off, Alex decided to go big and started his current company, Clearbit. Clearbit is a marketing data engine that combines public and private data sources to allow companies to truly understand their customers and sales interactions. On this episode of Mission Daily, Alex shares more details about his path to founding Clearbit, his philosophy of building a fun culture within the company, and the importance of keeping your employees happy and motivated. — Mission Daily and all of our podcasts are created with love by our team at Mission.org. We own and operate a network of podcasts, and brand story studio designed to accelerate learning.

How does Alex suggest there are 3 ways you can become more self-aware as an individual? 5.) What advice does Alex give to founders on successfully negotiating with investors? What value has Alex found that VCs really do bring? What does Alex optimise for when selecting his investor base? What value do most think that VCs bring but they actually do not?
