Wild Story of How the Chinese Bought and Lost Grindr:  How did the Chinese come to buy Grindr and then fire the founder? Why did the US government force the sale of the company from the Chinese? What happened when the whole development team was in Taiwan and then resigned overnight? George got the CEO role in Sept and the company went public in Oct. How did that all happen so fast? 2. How Grindr is a Free Cash Flow Machine: What are the three core ways that Grindr is able to print money with a 40% EBITDA margin? Why does Grindr not spend any money on marketing or customer acquisition? Why does George think that most companies have way too many people? Why does George believe that most startups are very badly managed? What will Grindr do with the insane amount of free cash flow the company is producing? 3. Lessons Building Grindr to $300M in Revenue: What has George done with Grindr that he wishes he had not done? What has he not done that he wishes he had done? Why does George not make political statements today? Does George think we have freedom of speech when CEOs face such repercussions for political views?

Happy new year! We kick 2021 off on the Razor's Edge by looking at a couple of the biggest trends from 2020 – COVID market distortions and SPACs. Our guest is George Arison, Co-CEO of Shift Technologies, an online used car seller. Used cars were a surprisingly hot market in 2020, in part spurring Shift to move up their calendar to go public by a year. They went public via a SPAC. So our conversation centers on the two topics; how wild was 2020 and how do you plan for the following year; and why go public with a SPAC and what was that like? Topics Covered 2:30 minute mark – Background on George and on Shift 7:30 – Where does the value add or competitive advantage come in? 12:00 – What the “value” part of the used car market looks like 14:15 – How Shift interacts with/competes with dealers 18:00 – What 2020 has looked like for Shift 29:00 – How the go-public plan shifted for Shift in 2020 33:00 – The SPAC fit and the questions raised 37:00 – What do SPAC negotiations look like? 40:00 – Surprises in the public market 43:30 – Planning for 2021 after the COVID rush 49:00 – What about the COVID hangover

In today’s episode, we chat with George Arison, founder and CEO of Shift, an online peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling used cars. Topics discussed include: -His entrepreneurial background, key experiences building Shift and the milestones that elevated his business -Why he chose the SPAC structure for his company and other options considered in going public -Identifying the right SPAC sponsor and whether it’s a competitive process -The value Shift offers its customers and its advantage over competitors

George Arison is the co-founder of Shift, an online marketplace disrupting the used car industry. An immigrant from Georgia and lifelong entrepreneur, he also co-founded the first on-demand mobile transportation booking technology Taxi Magic (now known as Curb), as well as working for Google and BCG.

Today, we're talking to George Arison about his experience growing up in the former USSR, how he stays humble in the face of his success, and how he's learned from his many mistakes.

George Arison of Shift joins Nick to discuss Going Public via SPACs and PIPEs, The First Mover in Ridesharing That Lost to Uber, and Building the Online Marketplace for Used Cars, Shift. In this episode, we cover: Walk us through your background and path to tech. What was the outcome of taxi magic? Shut down? When you spoke with Bill Gurley - rumor has it he pushed back on the model.  Did you consider switching? What is Shift? How are you different than Carvana? How accurately can you price a car sight unseen? It feels like you are effectively CarMax online...  If CarMax is such a good value prop for seekers and buyers, why do you think they only have a 1% market share? There were lots of ways you could have expanded early on... your offerings... geography... and even product/business lines (like financing)... talk us through the early decisions that were made and how they were made The name is great but does Gen Z get it?  No one shifts anymore Online marketplace solving an extremely frustrating and time-consuming consumer life event but it's a very Infrequent transaction so you need to be top of mind when someone is buying a new car or ready to make a transaction... How are you thinking about that? Talk about your decision to go with a SPAC to go public. The decision to go direct-listing would be in cases where the company is more of a household name? SPACs were a four-letter word in the '90s... apparently, there were some bad situations... what is the risk here, and how has that been addressed by the modern SPAC structure? Do sponsors get 2% or 20% off the top? What was the value of the SPAC vs. the valuation of your company... were you (and other shareholders) diluted by the SPAC investment amount And the rest/the balance of capital comes from a PIPE, correct? As an investor, wouldn't the preference be to invest in the SPAC vs. the PIPE? Building a company in SV or not, and where that is headed? What advice would you have for founders before selecting VC partners? What was the experience as an openly gay man building a tech company -- do you think that presented a more difficult path to success?

George began his career as a project manager for Google before cofounding the first on-demand mobile transportation booking technology, Taxi Magic (now known as Curb), two years before Uber was even created. His new company, Shift, is an online marketplace disrupting the car industry and going public via a SPAC. We talk about the journey of this $100M Founder from Immigrant to Entrepreneur, what a SPAC is and how is scaling from an idea to a multi-million-dollar business. We also have a fascinating chat on how large companies can avoid disruption, but often do not.

There are more than a few reasons why buying a car –– especially a used one –– is about as appealing as getting a root canal, being stuck on a packed airplane taxiing on a runway or using a porta-john at a burrito festival. The buying process is stuck in analog mode. So Toby Russell and his co-founder, George Arison, built an online used car marketplace that features transparent pricing, concierge service and a generous return policy. Can a startup disrupt a massive industry that’s still largely offline, stubbornly unresponsive to consumer habits and intent on obfuscating its inner workings? Listen to Toby talk to Scott at WGN Radio how Shift is changing the auto marketplace.

George Arison co-founded Shift out of his apartment in the Castro neighorhood of San Francisco.

George Arison and Jenna discuss Shift's founding story and the team's plan to become a full service platform to purchase, finance, sell, and maintain our cars. We then walk through key lessons George has learned articulating and refining company values, finding the right CEO-COO relationship, and how to evaluate investors and board members and build a strong relationship with them.

A test drive that comes to you. A car loan you can close on your mobile device. Wouldn’t it be amazing if buying a car could be this easy? With Shift, it is. Here’s founder George Arison’s elevator pitch: “Shift is a way to buy and sell cars. If you have a car to sell you come to our website, you submit your car quote, or you download our app and you scan your VIN. And based on that car information that you submit we give you a price quote on that car for how much we think we can sell the car for, and then how much money you would make on that sale. Virtually all of the time you make more than you would if you traded a car into a dealer, and in many cases a lot more than if you trade the car into a dealer. If you want to then work with us we will come out and pick up the car from you and take it away, and you’ll never see the car again, and we’ll do all of the work to get it sold.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
