I got to interview Nicholas Hinrichsen and Christopher Coleman. Nicholas and Christopher met at Stanford Business School in 2011. They quickly became friends and bonded over their international backgrounds and families. After graduating in 2013, the duo started a company called Carlypso aiming to bring used car sales online. In 2017, the founders sold their business to Carvana: with hindsight, they 'started a used car company and sold a software business.' After leaving Carvana, the two founders started a digital auto loan refinancing platform called WithClutch.com. The goal is to help Americans improve their credit and lower their monthly payments through a few clicks. We spoke about: Their journey to now. What motivates them. Weaknesses they turned into strengths. Advice for the audience. And much more. This episode is sponsored by Nova Zora Digital experts in digital marketing.

Special Guest Nicholas Hinrichsen    Today's guest is Nicholas Hinrichsen, who got his MBA at Stanford in 2013 and started a company after graduating. Nicholas went through the startup accelerator YCombinator in 2014, raised $10M in Venture capital, and sold his business to Carvana in 2017. At Carvana, Nicholas ran a team of 160 people. He was in charge of his team when COVID hit in March, and his whole team transitioned to work from home.  Nicholas left Carvana in June to start WithClutch.com, a digital platform to refinance your auto loan. Car owners can save thousands of dollars in less than two minutes, and his new company is currently working fully remotely as well. During the first nationwide shutdown in America History, companies had to figure out how their employees could navigate their roles while working remotely.  Many of these companies were hoping by now that we would be fully back at work and back to a new normal.  However, in light of the recent changes in the virus, many states are pushing back their openings, sending more people home, and the climate once again is changing.  Today, Nicholas and I talk about the shift to working from home, how to navigate an organization with a remote workforce better, and ways you can maximize your productivity while keeping people safe.

Stanford GSB grads discuss MBA admissions, entrepreneurship and affordable car loans [Show summary] Nicholas Hinrichsen and Chris Coleman, startup co-founders who earned their MBAs at Stanford GSB, return to Admissions Straight Talk to share what they’ve accomplished as entrepreneurs since earning their MBAs. Chris Coleman and Nicholas Hinrichsen share how their experiences at GSB helped them grow their startups [Show notes] So, you want to be an entrepreneur in something using tech. Or maybe you're interested in tech product management. Should you get an MBA? Is it a waste of time and money that you could better spend learning on your own, founding your own business? Two Stanford GSB grads are here to share their perspective, reflecting seven years of successful entrepreneurial experience since earning their MBAs. Nicholas Hinrichsen and Chris Coleman, who were previously guests on Admission Straight Talk in Episode 88, both graduated from Stanford GSB in 2013. While at GSB, they founded Carlypso, which was acquired by Carvana in 2017. Since then, they’ve founded a new venture, WithClutch. When we last spoke, you both had recently graduated from Stanford GSB, and you were running Carlypso, which you had founded as MBA students. What's happened since then? Can you bring us up to date? [2:09] Chris: A lot has happened since then. When we talked, I think we were going through Y Combinator. We actually ended up pivoting the business into a new model since that time. Carlypso was this sort of peer-to-peer car sales platform. We ended up pivoting to being a direct wholesale channel where we sold cars, leasing to companies that can't sell directly to the consumer but have to sell through these wholesale auctions. We became a virtual dealer of sorts. We built software that said, "Okay, what are the cars that we think are good for consumers? How do we figure out how to use performance marketing to our advantage so that we can market the right car to the right consumer?" We had a pretty good handle on that. It was a good business. It wasn't a great business because it required very, very heavy operations, actually moving around 4,000-pound pieces of metal all the time, rather than bits and bytes. The software that we built ended up being more valuable than our end-value prop to consumers. And so we sold the software to Carvana, and ended up joining as executives there. Nick ran the sell-to-Carvana business of buying cars from consumers, and I ran product for the initial part of the consumer experience, from the homepage, search page, and product pages. We spent three years there. It was a great three years of seeing the company go from early public company to the company everyone else is aiming to beat. That was a really fun ride, and we got to know some of the executives there very well who were super helpful and had very different skill sets than us. Now we've gone off to start a new thing again. Me and Nick have just started WithClutch, which is sort of a platform for saving consumers on their automotive expenses. Nick: Our first employee at Carlypso ended up applying to business school when we sold. So, business school plays lots of roles in our lives. The person at Carvana who we touched base with to “compare notes” (when what we really wanted was to sell the company) happened to be one of our classmates from GSB. I had worked on a student-run event with her, and Chris had been on a student trip with her. Thankfully, GSB reappeared in our lives multiple times. I don't think we would have made it to where we are without our experience at the GSB, frankly. Silicon Valley tends to disparage the MBA. When we spoke in 2013, you were very happy you did your MBA. Do you still think the time you spent at GSB was time well spent? [5:34] Nick: There are so many dimensions to it. If you go into it thinking it's an academic experience, you'll walk out of it with so much more than what you've learned.

Nicholas Hinrichsen was born and raised in Germany and played on the German National Golf Team and studied Computer Science and Finance in Germany, Chile, and Australia. At the start of his career, he looked into consulting and investment banking but instead joined a renewable energy startup that invested in projects in China and India. In 2011, he moved to the US to get his MBA at Stanford Business School, and by 2013 he started a company called Carlypso. He brought that startup through YCombinator in 2014, raised $10 million in venture funding by 2015, and sold the company to Carvana.com in 2017. Carvana went public at a market cap of $2.5B and is now the most valuable used car retailer in the US. Nicholas and his co-founder, Chris Coleman, recently left Carvana to start WithClutch.com, a fully digital platform that lets car owners refinance auto loans from the comfort of their own home. The team at WithClutch.com has seen that in the US, only 5% of auto loan applications were refinancing, yet 47% of all funded mortgage applications were refinancing. So, they are going to change that!   “To succeed as a startup, all you need to do at the very beginning is to leave the building and talk to customers.” Nicholas Hinrichsen   Worst investment ever Young investor When Nicholas was 16, the only thing he knew how to do well back then was playing golf. Then all of a sudden, his friends in school, even some golfers, started talking about investing in technology companies. Nicholas had about $2,000, which was a lot of money for him at the time. His friends told him to invest the money because he could easily 10x that money. Afraid to miss out As everyone around him continued to invest in the tech companies, Nicholas decided to look into it because he felt like he was missing out. He signed up for an account online, went to the physical branch to verify his identity, and then eventually got access to the stock market. Now with an account, Nicholas could shop around for a company to invest in. But with so many options, he was baffled. One of his friends advised him to buy some magazines and then just read about the stocks in these magazines because the magazines wouldn’t recommend buying those stocks if they weren’t the best. And that’s precisely what Nicholas did. Making his first investment and mistake Nicholas didn’t know any of the companies in the magazines, but one resonated with him because that happened to be Germany’s biggest telecom. He felt that this would be a good choice. Nicholas took the money he had and used it all to buy the stock at $120 per share. Sadly, that remains the highest price the stock has ever traded. The stock price went downhill a few months after Nicholas bought it. First slowly, then rapidly, to a point where Nicholas was just watching from the sidelines as the price went down to zero. Finally letting go of his worst investment Nicholas somehow held onto his stock for years, even though he wasn’t making any returns on it. A few years later, he moved to the US for work. He wasn’t allowed to hold a foreign account, and so he was forced to transfer his portfolio in Germany to his US bank. However, he decided that the lousy stock was not worth the effort and so he sold it and counted his losses. Lessons learned The stock market is tricky Succeeding in the stock market is harder than winning the gold medal at the Olympics, so brace yourself and go ready to give it your all. Don’t hold onto cash Cash is not as great as people think it is, especially if there’s inflation. You lose money in the long run by keeping cash in the bank. Invest in a diversified portfolio Manage risk by investing in a diversified portfolio and hire a fund manager to manage this portfolio. This removes emotions out of the investment. Invest for the long term You can only make or preserve your wealth if you’re investing for the long term. Humans act either out of fear or out of greed When it comes to investing, neither fear or greed helps you make wealth. Fear makes you sell your stock when the stock market goes down because you’re afraid it could go further down. Then you miss the upswing. When stocks go up, you get greedy and go into the market, but what you don’t realize is that you’re paying expensively. Andrew’s takeaways Avoid FOMO when investing in the US stock market Be very careful when listening to other people talk about their investments and wanting to do it too because they sound so successful. People only talk about their wins and rarely about their losses. So do not believe everything that you hear. No action in life that is risk-free Every single action has a benefit and a cost. If you put money into the bank, and you don’t get the interest payment, it doesn’t grow. Now you have exposed yourself to shortfall risk, the risk that the money that you need at retirement will not be there. Actionable advice Sign up for a diversified portfolio and get a fund manager to manage it for you. No. 1 goal for the next 12 months Nicholas’s number one goal for the next 12 months is to build another company that impacts people and hopefully makes life better in the US. Parting words   “Run risks, but be smart. Know which risks you’re taking, be very deliberate, and choose the ones that you have under control. Then outsource the ones that you don’t to somebody who’ll have them under control.” Nicholas Hinrichsen   Connect with Nicholas Hinrichsen LinkedIn Twitter Website Andrew’s books How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market My Worst Investment Ever 9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Transform Your Business with Dr.Deming’s 14 Points Andrew’s online programs Valuation Master Class How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market Finance Made Ridiculously Simple Become a Great Presenter and Increase Your Influence Transform Your Business with Dr. Deming’s 14 Points Connect with Andrew Stotz: astotz.com LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube My Worst Investment Ever Podcast Further reading mentioned Jason Zweig (2007) Your Money and Your Brain: How the New Science of Neuroeconomics Can Help Make You Rich
