My guest today is Silvija Martincevic, the Croatian born, San Francisco based CEO of Australian founded Unicorn Deputy.Silvija's executive career has been immense in the world of fast-growing technology, as the COO of Group On, and then the chief commercial officer of Affirm, that scaled annual revenue through the billion-dollar ceiling and beyond IPO. Silvija grew up in Croatia and while she didn't learn English until she was 18, she's an incredibly lucid storyteller. We traversed some key scaling challenges from moving Deputy from a point solution to a full workforce management platform trying to move from the fickle SMB market towards solving larger and more complex problems for mid-market customers. All of this is wrapped up in a big global push to continue the growth trajectory that now has reported revenue well over a hundred million dollars a year. While Sylvia is known in the industry as an incredible executor, as an operator, it's her leadership skills that have been front and center in Deputy's post Covid transformation, despite not being the founder, her ownership mentality is the cornerstone of her values-based leadership principles, which come clearly through as accountability, trust, and empathy. Her insights into scaling culture as a non-founding CEO were a real highlight of the conversation. As always, please reach out if you have any feedback or comments, and for more insights on a whole range of topics the new TDM website is a great resource for investors and operators alike.

Financial inclusion remains one of the most pressing challenges in today's economy. Millions of Americans struggle to access basic financial services simply because they lack a credit history or have damaged credit. This gap in our financial system doesn't just create inconvenience – it perpetuates cycles of financial inequity that can last generations. In my latest episode of Tearsheet, I sat down with Julie Szudarek, CEO of Self Financial, a company working at the forefront of this challenge. Julie took the helm at Self just over a year ago, bringing over 20 years of leadership experience from companies like Groupon and Atida. Though fintech is a new arena for her, Julie's expertise in building customer-focused businesses is exactly what's needed to tackle financial inclusion at scale. “I've never done fintech before,” Julie told me candidly. “But what I bring to the table is a deep understanding of how to build customer-focused businesses that are sustainable over time.” Her mission at Self aligns well with the broader movement toward more accessible financial services: “We are only here to make outcomes for our customers better than before they started working with Self.” The Big Ideas Decoupling Secured Credit Cards for Easier Access. “We decoupled the secured card so customers don't need a credit builder account first. It's about reducing barriers.” The Power of Low Deposit and No Credit Check. “Our deposit is $100, and for many, there's no hard credit check. That makes it much less intimidating for people facing rejection.” Customer Education as a Core Focus. “About 65% of our customers say they had no financial education. So we focus on teaching them about interest, compounding, and managing credit.” Expanding Product Offerings to Keep Customers Engaged. “We were limited in what we offered. Now we're focusing on products that meet customers where they are and help them keep growing financially.” Partnerships to Reach More Communities. “Regions Bank and Pathway Homes are some of our key partners — together, we're helping more people build credit who might otherwise be left out.”

Guest: Blake Scholl, Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic“Passion and drive trumps knowledge and experience,” says Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl. Long before he was running Boom — which earlier this year successfully tested the world's first privately-developed supersonic jet — he was enabling “the world's most obnoxious spam cannon” at Groupon, or designing a barcode-scanning game for retail shoppers.But eventually, Blake found the courage to be more audacious and do something closer to his lifelong love of aviation. He began educating himself about things he had never thought to learn, and tapping his LinkedIn network to get intros to the smartest people in the industry. “If you imagine yourself on like the day of IPO, 99 percent of what you needed to know to get to that day, you didn't know on day one,” he says. “So, why not take 99 percent to 99.5 percent, and work on the thing you really want to exist, even if you don't know anything about it yet?”Chapters: (01:07) - Blake on Boom's beginnings (01:52) - Breaking the sound barrier (05:23) - Concorde's legacy (09:36) - Navigating regulations (12:08) - Boomless supersonic flight (16:48) - The test flight (20:11) - Day-of nervousness (24:26) - Carrying passengers (26:55) - Cost & wi-fi (30:19) - “No middle seats” (32:35) - Hard tech (36:48) - What if Apple made a plane?

Saurav started a Groupon-like offering for SMBs in 2011. He quickly learned it wasn't going to work. He and his team pivoted and started driving leads to suppliers using Facebook ads. It worked and they generated revenue—but they were becoming a digital advertising agency. It wasn't at all what they wanted to build.So they pivoted again.  They used the cash from that business and built Perkbox. The idea was a subscription-based offering that that gave perks to SMB customers. Telcos started buying it and attaching it to their products to drive sales. Then, they pivoted again, this time moving away from customer perks and to employee perks.This time, it worked. They grew from $2M in ARR to $14M in just 2 years. They kept growing and hit $36M in ARR. Then he sold the business to PE for $170M.It took longer than expected. There were more pivots than expected. But it was a huge success.Here's how it happened.Why you should listen:How to use new social media channels to drive growth.How to leverage partnerships to get end user adoption.Why having a profitable agency can be a great way to get started.Why capital efficiency can be a huge edge.Rebranding can help clarify market positioning.What it feels like to make $10s of millions in one day.KeywordsPerkBox, Groupon, startup journey, business model, SMB market, marketing strategies, recurring revenue, partnerships, entrepreneurship, exit strategy, venture capital, entrepreneurship, startups, employee benefits, social media marketing, capital efficiency, business growth, acquisition, rebranding, emotional marketing, lessons learnedTimestamps(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:48) The origin of Perkbox(00:04:52) Going after SMBs(00:12:16) The Pivot(00:26:35) Creating Viral Ads(00:32:28) Demo to Close Rate(00:40:12) Selling to PE Firms(00:49:38) A Piece of AdviceSend me a message to let me know what you think!

In-Depth with 7-Figure Amazon Seller Matt Kostan In this in-depth episode of Seller Sessions, Danny McMillan sits down with Matt Kostan, a serial entrepreneur, to chart his rise from early business experiments to Amazon success and beyond. From selling on Groupon to building million-dollar brands, Matt shares his wins, failures, and insights into what makes an entrepreneur thrive. Breaking into Business & Early Failures First job: Marketing assistant at a small pharma company. Quickly gained responsibility, launched direct-to-consumer websites, and caught the CEO's attention. Helped grow the company to millions in revenue before it was sold—but had no equity. A lesson learned. The Leap into E-Commerce Moved to a software start-up, gaining exposure to inventory management and online selling. First Amazon product: An iPod dock connector adapter—went viral with minimal effort, leading to thousands in sales within weeks. From Kickstarters to Seven-Figure Brands Kickstarter entry: Launched a mosquito repellent bracelet based on successful Groupon sales data. Year one on Amazon: Over $1M in revenue. Built a travel accessories brand out of personal passion, leveraging email capture via product registration to build a loyal customer base. Covid wiped out sales overnight. Adapted by launching a no-touch tool during the pandemic, raising nearly $100K on Kickstarter in 30 days. The Dark Side of Amazon Success Competing with big brands led to suppliers ghosting him—a factory was allegedly bought out by a large corporation. Negative reviews killed a promising mosquito tent product—users found it too difficult to fold, despite clear instructions and videos. Building Product Opinion & the Future of Amazon Selling Noticing that top Amazon sellers systematically tested everything, Matt (with Andri Saldak) launched Product Opinion to bring qualitative testing to the Amazon space. Lessons from CRO (Conversion Rate Optimisation): The HiPPO effect: CEOs often force their opinions into decisions instead of relying on data. Frankenstein images: Loading a main image with every “proven” tactic leads to disaster.

  Title Options:- "China Calls the Shots? Not Anymore, Thanks to Trump's Tariff Tornado"- "From Basement Deals to Boardroom Brawls: Trump Cleans Biden's Mess with China"- "Party's Over, China: The Trump Administration is Back and Checking IDs"- "Biden's Chinese Fire Drill vs. Trump's America-First Playbook"Article: Party's Over, China: Trump is Back Let's face it: the last four years with Biden were the geopolitical equivalent of teenagers throwing a kegger while the parents were out of town. China helped itself to the liquor cabinet (read: our trade balance), wrecked the furniture (global stability), and left behind a suspicious stain we'll be scrubbing out for decades (fentanyl crisis, anyone?). Now Trump is back, broom in one hand and a tariff schedule in the other. And if you think Beijing is nervous, you'd be right.China's Four-Year Field Day The Biden administration gave “compromised” a new definition. With The Big Guy allegedly benefitting from overseas kickbacks, China enjoyed the kind of unchecked influence in U.S. policy that lobbyists only dream about. Trade surplus? Check. Ballooning fentanyl exports? Double check. Pardons for shady Chinese nationals? Why not, right? This wasn't leadership—it was a Groupon for corruption. Biden's presidency left Americans wondering: Was Xi Jinping running the White House via Zoom? (content: Include Biden's pardons for Chinese nationals, alleged ties through Hunter Biden's dealings, and how these actions emboldened China's aggressive stance globally.)Trump's Tariff Tornado: Turning the Tables Enter Donald Trump, the human storm warning for countries trying to outsmart America. Remember his first term? Trump slapped tariffs like Oprah giving out cars: “You get a tariff! You get a tariff!” Suddenly, Beijing had to play nice or face a 60% import tax that would make Walmart executives cry. He's already vowed a 10% tariff on Chinese goods and plans to strip China of its “Most Favored Nation” status. This isn't just tough talk—it's the equivalent of flipping the Monopoly board and saying, “We're playing my rules now.”    [X] SB – Trump on the Golden Age                   Exciting and successful period of reform and renewal. Intervening problems. China vThe Fentanyl Fight: Biden's Blind Spot, Trump's Target Under Biden, the fentanyl crisis ballooned. China's role in flooding American streets with deadly drugs? Barely a slap on the wrist. Trump, however, treats this as an act of war. His proposed tariffs are aimed directly at fentanyl precursors, and you can bet there's more coming. Because for Trump, “friendship” with Xi doesn't mean letting it slide. It means, “Fix this, or I'll fix it for you.”Trump and Xi: A Complex Dance Trump's relationship with Xi Jinping is like a WWE match—respectful handshakes one moment, body slams the next. While Biden treated Xi like an infallible overlord, Trump knows the value of calculated diplomacy. “Let 1,000 flowers bloom,” Trump joked, echoing an old Chinese saying. But make no mistake—if Trump is letting flowers bloom, he's already figured out how to sell them back to China at a premium.Cleaning Up Biden's Mess If Biden's foreign policy was a reality show, it'd be Keeping Up with the Corruptions. Trump's return is the reboot America desperately needed. Where Biden let China call the shots, Trump is the guy who picks up the phone and says, “New phone, who dis?” Trump's tough stance on trade, fentanyl, and global competition signals a new era—one where America isn't just playing defense; it's running the game.The Bottom Line Under Biden, China played the role of an uninvited houseguest who overstayed their welcome and stole the silverware on the way out. Trump's back, and he's not just kicking them out—he's billing them for damages. Because in Trump's America, the party's over for freeloaders, and the grown-ups are firmly back in charge.Closing CTA: “If you want more of this kind of leadership, buckle up. Trump's America-First policies are ready to remind Beijing—and the world—that the U.S. is open for business, but only on our terms.”What do you think of the tone? Would you like it even punchier?       The grown-ups are back running things, and just in time. I feel like the last 4 years with Biden is one of those teen movie scenes where the kids throw a party when the parents are gone from the home. Look at all that President Trump will have to clean up.   https://www.reuters.com/world/china-trump-talk-up-prospects-us-china-collaboration-2024-12-17/ BEIJING, Dec 17 (Reuters) - China's top diplomat said on Tuesday he hoped the incoming Trump administration would "make the right choice" and work with Beijing, hours after Donald Trump told reporters the COVID-19 pandemic had strained his relationship with "friend" Xi Jinping. "We hope the new U.S. administration will make the right choice and work with China in a mutually-beneficial manner to remove disruptions and overcome obstacles," Foreign Minister Wang Yi told a forum in Beijing, according to a statement from his ministry. "We had a very good relationship until COVID," Trump told reporters gathered at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Monday when asked whether Xi would attend his inauguration. "COVID didn't end the relationship, but it was a bridge too far for me." (…) Trump has indicated he plans to pick up where he left off with Beijing, and has vowed to impose an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods to push China to do more to stop fentanyl flows into the U.S. He also previously pledged to end China's most-favoured-nation trading status and slap tariffs on Chinese imports in excess of 60% - much higher than those imposed during his first term. In response, China is seeking to amass bargaining chips to kick off talks with a new U.S. administration on contentious aspects of bilateral ties, including trade and investment, and science and technology, analysts say.     https://thehill.com/people/peter-navarro/ President-elect Trump's previous and incoming White House trade adviser, said it's best to let Trump “do his thing” in building relationships with the Chinese and other foreign actors so he can obtain the best deals for America. In an interview on NewsNation's “The Hill,” Navarro, a well-known China critic, was asked about Trump's comments at https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5042416-trump-mar-a-lago-press-conference-takeaways/ that “China and the United States can together solve all of the problems of the world.” Navarro — who was Trump's trade adviser in his first administration and will https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5021849-peter-navarro-senior-counselor-trade/ for trade and manufacturing in Trump's second — said he was with Trump when he met with Chinese President https://thehill.com/people/xi-jinping/on numerous occasions, and he is confident in the president-elect's ability to navigate relationships. “They have a relationship which can be productive dealing with things like Ukraine and Gaza and oil and all of that,” Navarro said about Trump and Xi. “So what we do is we trust https://thehill.com/people/donald-trump/in developing relationships with Xi, with Putin, with whoever is out there, [Recep Tayyip] Erdoğan in Turkey — people the left doesn't like because of their obvious authoritarian methods — yet for the good of this country, we have to let the boss do his thing in order to get the best deals for America,” Navarro said. “Let's see what happens.” Last week, https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5036797-trump-inauguration-xi-jinping/to attend his inauguration in January. Navarro shot back when asked whether he was softening his position on China. “No, not at all,” Navarro said. “OK, we had that kind of relationship. Let 1,000 flowers bloom, as the Chinese might say, but we slapped them hard with tariffs, and we were the toughest presidency on China ever.”        Paul Stone is first and foremost a patriot, and Paul thank you for believing my show and my audience.

Ron Baetiong, Founder of Podcast Network Asia, and Jeremy Au discussed: Philippines Basketball Jock to Founder Exit: Ron shared his early life as a basketball jock raised in a lower-middle-class Filipino household by his single mother. Determined to achieve the Filipino dream of owning a house, Ron worked in a call center at 18 while studying at the University of Santo Tomas. Ron's time at Groupon (2011) taught him foundational sales skills that later became pivotal. He launched his first startup, a nightlife app called Partyphile, inspired by his personal pain points as a clubgoer. Despite initial traction with 50,000 users, the business struggled with monetization. By 2016, Ron pivoted to Chatbot.ph, leveraging the emerging chatbot market. Within a year, the company was acquired by Sterling Paper Group, allowing Ron to fulfill his dream of buying his mother a house. 2. Startup Failure Lessons: His journey revealed key lessons about being a solo founder and the importance of monetization strategies. Ron shared how missing opportunities to sell club tables—a lucrative revenue stream—hindered growth. The business faced a turning point in 2016, following a tragic incident at a major rave event and political shifts under Duterte's presidency that dampened the nightlife scene. Transitioning to Chatbot.ph, Ron capitalized on timing and his ability to build quick MVPs. By mid-2017, the company generated over $10,000 in monthly revenue and attracted investors, leading to its acquisition. Ron highlighted how this pivot taught him to prioritize building strong teams and focusing on cash flow. 3. Podcast Network Asia & Serye FM In 2019, Ron founded the podcast HustleShare to document startup journeys and give back to the Philippine ecosystem. He expanded this passion into Podcast Network Asia (PNA), which grew to manage 320 shows, including exclusive collaborations with Spotify, paying $20,000 per show annually. However, Spotify's strategic pivot in 2023—ending exclusivity deals—led to significant financial strain for PNA. In response, Ron launched Serye FM to address the growing demand for localized audio content. Serye FM adopted a paywall model within Spotify, enabling Filipino listeners to access serialized audio series. With 100% month-on-month growth over five months, Serye FM has emerged as a rising star. Ron's teaming with co-founder Rexy Dorado, formerly of Kumu, reinforced the platform's potential to replicate its success. Jeremy and Ron also talks about the grief of losing his co-founder in 2023, managing platform risks with Spotify, and his plans to scale Serye FM from the Philippines to the U.S. === Watch, listen or read the full insight at www.bravesea.com/blog/ ph-founder-podcast-lesson Nonton, dengar atau baca wawasan lengkapnya di www.bravesea.com/blog/ ph-founder-podcast-lesson 观看、收听或阅读全文，请访问 www.bravesea.com/blog/ ph-founder-podcast-lesson Xem, nghe hoặc đọc toàn bộ thông tin chi tiết tại www.bravesea.com/blog/ ph-founder-podcast-lesson Get transcripts, startup resources & community discussions at www.bravesea.com WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea Spotify English: https://open.spotify.com/show/4TnqkaWpTT181lMA8xNu0T Bahasa Indonesia: https://open.spotify.com/show/2Vs8t6qPo0eFb4o6zOmiVZ Chinese: https://open.spotify.com/show/20AGbzHhzFDWyRTbHTVDJR Vietnamese: https://open.spotify.com/show/0yqd3Jj0I19NhN0h8lWrK1 YouTube English: https://www.youtube.com/@JeremyAu?sub_confirmation=1 Apple Podcast English: https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/brave-southeast-asia-tech-singapore-indonesia-vietnam/id1506890464

On this episode, Chris & Koi hop on Groupon to pick 4 dates a piece. Each date being under $100.

Andrew Mason was a 27-year-old with a degree in music when he co-founded one of the fastest growing companies of all time: Groupon. Its deep discounts on everything from sushi rolls to plastic surgery soon became a ubiquitous part of life in cities across the world. In 2011, just three years after launching, Groupon had the largest internet IPO since Google, with a valuation of $12.7 billion.But people began to complain that Andrew was not up to the role of CEO: he was quirky and unpredictable, and unable to navigate the company's rocket-ship growth and the surge of copycats that threatened it. Soon, Groupon's revenue slumped, and Andrew was fired from the company he'd started. But like many of the best entrepreneurs, he learned from his failure. Today, Andrew runs a new startup, an audio and video editing platform called Descript. In fact, we use Descript to make this show! This episode was produced by Chris Maccini with music by Ramtin Arablouei.Edited by Neva Grant, with research from Kathrine Sypher.
