Once is lucky, twice is good. And our guest today is good. Darrell Silver, Founder and CEO of Unbundle Studio, has sold two companies for over $100M and he's using that experience to start investing. We dig into why Darrell decided to help create tech companies with underappreciated founders in a venture studio model and the mindset needed for running the studio completely off his own balance sheet.About Darrell Silver:Darrell Silver runs Unbundle Studio, a venture studio that launches tech companies with underappreciated founders. He is also a board member, advisor, and investor across EdTech and child advocacy.He co-founded+CEO'd+sold two companies: Thinkful (acquired by Chegg) & Perpetually (acquired by Dell).A word from our sponsor:At Ripple, we manage all of our fund expenses and employee credit cards using Jeeves. The team at Jeeves helped get me and my team setup with physical and virtual credit cards in days. I was able to allow my teammates to expense items in multiple currencies allowing them to pay for anything, anywhere at anytime. We weren't asked for any personal guarantees or to pay any setup or monthly SaaS fees.Not only does Jeeves save us time, but they also give us cash back on our purchases including expenses like Google, Facebook, or AWS every month. New users can earn up to 3% cashback for their first 90 days.The best part is Jeeves puts up the cash, and you settle up once every 30 days in any currency you want, unlike some other corporate card companies that make you pre-pay every month. Jeeves also recently launched its Jeeves Growth and Working Capital initiative for startups and fast-growing companies to enable more financial freedom for companies. The best thing of all is that Jeeves is live in  24 countries including Canada, US and many other countries around the world.Jeeves truly offers the best all-in-one expense management corporate card program for all startups especially the ones at Ripple and we at Tank Talks could not be more excited to officially partner with them. Listeners of Tank Talks can get set up with a demo of Jeeves today and take advantage of our Tank Talks special with a‍ $250 statement credit after the first $2,500 in spend or a $500 statement credit after the first $5000 in spend. Lastly, all Jeeves cardholders receive access to their Lounge Pass program and access to over 1300 airports globally.Visit tryjeeves.com/tanktalks to learn more.In this episode we discuss:02:33 Darrell's journey into Tech04:51 Darrell's experience pitching Jason Calacanis and TechCrunch Disrupt08:21 Building Thinkful and selling to Chegg11:02 Best practices for acquihires and retaining senior talent13:00 Evaluating deals by weighing the best alternative15:46 Why you can't BS your way through an M&A process17:32 Why Darrell launched Unbundle Studio21:41 The thesis behind Unbundle Studio23:25 Types of founders Unbundle is looking for24:22 Why Darrell is using his own money to start Unbundle26:01 How the traditional venture model doesn't account for profitable businesses27:27 Darrell's experience as an LP28:38 Why he sticks to his expertise when investing30:50 What he looks for when he invests33:06 The importance of good board members35:55 Building your networks37:05 What he learned from Mike Maples at Floodgate38:36 Redflags people should avoid when pitching him as an LP39:50 How Darrell adds value as an LP41:16 Why being a board member is philanthropic42:44 Advice for new LPs44:39 The best career advice he's gotten as an LP45:50 Why he's building a workshop with his dadFast Favorites*

Caitlyn didn't want to go back and get a degree "at my age", but went to Thinkful to learn to be a full-stack software engineer, which is "like being paid to go to school and make cool things forever." It's hard to tell what to focus on when there's so much to learn. "It used different muscles in my brain," she says, as she "learn[ed] to work from a place of frustration." And in the end, "it's either a good time or a good story!" For show notes and links, see: http://justtheusefulbits.com/jtub/caitlyn-greffly-paid-to-go-to-school-and-make-cool-things-forever/

One of the best ways to build a successful business as an indie hacker is to teach people a valuable skill. So in this episode, I sat down to talk to you two of the best educators that I know. Darrell Silver (@darrellsilver) is the founder of Thinkful (an online learning service that's helped thousands of students get high paying jobs in tech) and Quincy Larson (@ossia), the founder of freeCodeCamp. We’ll get into some of the best ways for indie hackers to get started as educators and the economics behind an education business.

When a founder decides to build an impact driven organization, at some point they have to make an important decision on whether to structure it as a for profit entity or a non-profit. While a for-profit can maximize financial upside to the founding team and shareholders, a non-profit by definition can focus more of its effort on the impact it wants to have in the world. In this week's episode bring back Darrell Silver, the founder and former CEO of Thinkful, a for-profit education venture, to talk about why the model of the non-profit freeCodeCamp is so innovative in its funding and impact model, and why he is now a major donor and supporter of the organization that was founded with a similar mission to his. In this rare interview, we got to dive into some of the nuances of how nonprofits are managed and how freeCodeCamp has been able to deliver 1.1 billion minutes of instruction with just a 12 person team by making their education model open source. We also discussed how people who want to improve their career prospects and pick up a technical skill can best decide whether to learn online for free or pay tuition for an instructor guided education experience if they can afford it. Tune in to hear our interview with Darrell Silver about the story and future of freeCodeCamp.If you want to support their work, you can donate as little as $5 here which will directly contribute to 250 hours of free education!

Chris Powers is the Director of Engineering at Thinkful. He's been spending a bit of time lately thinking about the costs of decisions as software projects evolve and grow. In other words as an application evolves from a small, niche application to a widely used, multi-tenant application. Or, as the team building it changes from a handful of developers in the same room to multiple teams working remotely on the same codebase. As those changes occur, how do different testing practices, architectural decisions, and clean coding practices of the past prepare the application for or cause headaches during the development of the present?

And I just got sick of the travel. There was a lot of mandatory drinking events and I was just burning out. So I decided to make a career shift and joined the Thinkful coding bootcamp. Its a remote boot camp. After 6 months I got hired and became an associate software engineer.“I still can’t believe how generous people are in the tech industry with their time. There were so many people who didn’t know me and would just offer me their time to help me or to just talk to me.”“As a junior (developer) its easy to feel like you know nothing and everybody else knows everything.”—Caitlyn GrefflyKey MilestonesBefore we talk tech, Caitlyn spends a moment digging into that psychology degree and those early years working in the beer industryCaitlyn studied to become a beer cicerone – it required 6 months!Caitlyn was able to hold a full time job and attend data analytics bootcamp. What was that experience like?Why did Caitlyn choose the Thinkful bootcamp for data analytics?Caitlyn’s networking tips coming out of bootcamps involve meetups, LinkedIn talking, and much more. Most junior devs don’t jump right in to speaking and writing. Caitlyn wanted to share her experience coming into tech. Caitlyn’s first junior developer role had great on-boarding.

Dan Friedman is the Co-Founder of Thinkful, a coding bootcamp that provides online courses Software Engineering, Design and Data Science courses. Dropping out of Yale, Dan is proof that you don't need a college degree or certain qualifications to find your way to success. Thinkful is the first coding bootcamp that came out and created offerings for people impacted by the COVID-19. Listen in to find out more about their initiatives. Another thing Dan emphasized today is the principle of reversibility.

Being an entrepreneur means that you get to decide what you want to be an expert in each time you start a new venture. One famous example is Richard Branson, who started off running a student magazine, then a record company, followed by a successful airline and a spaceflight company. Darrell Silver made a similar move with his second company, Thinkful. In part two of our interview we discuss why he decided to move away from enterprise tech where he successfully sold his first business into a sector that was completely unknown to him, direct to consumer education. As before he did what he knew best - created a valuable product as quickly as possible, then figured out an effective business model for it. Darrell explains how him and his co-founder Daniel Friedman saw an opportunity to educate people interested in technology jobs soon after the 2008 financial collapse, and the impressive marketing experiments the team ran to create a revenue generating program in a few short months. Over 8 years they grew Thinkful to a recognized brand, eventually selling to Chegg for $100 Million to reach their next milestone - making tech based education accessible to more people.

Hey Change Nation we are back with part 2 of our interview with Dan Friedman of Thinkful! In this half of our talk with Dan we discuss some of the key motivators to spark a change in his life and his decision to join the Thiel Fellowship as a college student under 20 years old. Though the University experience was great, Dan and friends still had an itch to do something more for the world despite their academic endeavors. Dan realized he was studying the broader world but not being a part of it and wanted to do something that had a bigger impact.
