Episode Synopsis


E46:  MELISSA KWAN - 3X BOOTSTRAPPER / CEO OF EWEBINARJoin Todd Sullivan in a conversation with Melissa Kwan, the co-founder and CEO of eWebinar, a top automated webinar platform. Prior to eWebinar, Melissa spent 13 years building three successful companies without venture capital backing. Her last company, Spacio, became the real estate industry's number one open house sign-in solution, helping agents automate lead capture and follow up. Melissa sold Spacio in 2019 to a strategic buyer. After years of struggling to build her company with virtually no resources, our fellow founders will easily relate to Melissa's story, especially those who have not had the benefit of venture capital funding.From eating one meal a day to reduce our personal burn to growing Spacio to over 100,000 users and selling for mid-seven figures. Melissa Kwan gives our listeners a good look into the expectations versus reality of building and exiting a successful SaaS business. We hope you enjoy the conversation with Melissa!EPISODE 46 SHOW NOTES AND REFERENCES:HomeSpotter Acquires Open House Innovator Spacio - https://blog.homespotter.com/2019/01/17/homespotter-acquires-spacio/eWebinar - https://ewebinar.com/automated-webinar-libraryThe 10 Aha!
