#1356 FreshBooks spent $10 mil to recreate software that already works

57 minutes

Today I’ve got one of my first interviewees, the founder of FreshBooks, Mike McDerment.

I’ve used FreshBooks to send out invoices pretty much since I started Mixergy.

And to be honest with you, I was taking some time off–I wasn’t recording interviews. But Mike emailed me and said, “I think we should do another interview. It’s been seven years since the last one.”

I assumed Mike was doing this interview to announce he was selling FreshBooks. So, that’s why I agreed to come to the office and record it.

Then I realized what the actual news is…

Mike McDerment is the founder of FreshBooks, invoicing software for small business.
