Andy Higgins is the founder of bidorbuy. In this episode, we look back to the company's first near-death experience back in 2000 when the dot com bubble burst.

Andy's story is a tech rollercoaster spanning two decades, 40 investors, a billion dollar pseudo-valuations, fast hiring and a slow but steady internet bubble bursting.
