Cody Candee, CEO of Bounce joins us to talk about:-  How global travel unlocked his insight to found Bounce, and how he convinced total strangers to hand over and store their things with him for cash.   - Cody's experience building a company that was dependent on travel in the midst of global travel lockdowns, and how his team persevered through that.  - The signals that gave Cody and his team conviction to keep going, and how taking a 'helpful' approach to building solutions for their SMB customers unlocked new opportunities.- Tactics on establishing and maintaining network effects at the earliest stages of founding your company.

Travel is a huge part of Code Candee's life, even prior to his current venture. He has lived in a dozen different cities, travelled to over 60 countries, and has been to 49 of the 50 US states. Out of all of them, his favorite place to live was India, specifically in Bangalore. While he was there, he tried to experience all the cultures, food and people, and quite enjoyed his time.He is a minimalist.. to the tune of owning a couple of suitcases. He loves the idea of not being held down by things, and being able to move around at the drop of a hat. He reads a lot of books, his favorite one being the Alchemist, and enjoys rock climbing. But to be honest, he likes the all consuming, work centric lifestyle he leads.In 2014, he was working in San Francisco and planned to have some drinks with his friends. One of them had to go all the way home to drop off some luggage, before heading to happy hour. He took the ideas he wrote down that night, and in 2017, he set out to solve this complex problem... by just getting started.This is the creation story of Bounce.SponsorsCourierImg.lyRoutableCTO.aiCloudways offers peace of mind and flexibility so you can focus on growing your business instead of dealing with server management.
