Listen "034 Harrison Rose - Paddle"
Episode Synopsis
For this thirty-fourth episode, I talked to Harrison Rose, co-founder of Paddle, a leading subscription and commerce platform that helps SaaS businesses grow faster.
Harrison started Paddle with his co-founder when they were 17, going on 18, right when they were due to join university. They dropped out before it even began.
At first they built a marketplace for businesses, much like the App Store, but when it turned out nobody wanted another marketplace, they dropped the customer facing aspect and kept the platform for payments and the like.
We talk about how he builds a solid team while hiring 100 employees in a year, why he gets up at 6am, how he keeps his high energy up, and why you need to keep learning faster than your organization.
