I hope that decades from now people go back to these interviews to learn from this crop of entrepreneurs. And one I’ll be most proud is my interview with Mitchell Harper of BigCommerce.
He’s a guy who started out bootstrapping, who built an incredible company, and who came on to talk about it back in 2010. It was such a great interview and it holds up even after all this time.
Mitchell Harper is the founder of BigCommerce, an e-commerce platform whose revenue is approaching $100,000,000.
I want to find out why he left that company and about his new product, Startup Growth Blueprint, a course that teaches everything he’s learned from growing companies including where to get an idea, how to validate it, how to launch, hire people—everything.
