If I could go back 10 years in time I'd probably try to create exactly what Startups.co is doing. Over the past decade they have assembled and incredibly valuable and comprehensive platform of resources and services for entrepreneurs. The Startups.co family of products now includes BizPlan.com (creating business plans), Clarity.fm (finding mentors and advisors), Launchrock.com (creating launch pages), Zirtual.com (virtual assistants) and Fundable.com (raising capital).

More than 1 million entrepreneurs have turned to Startups.co and their platform of products to help them create, launch and grow their companies. The founder of Startups.co is Wil Schroter, a lifelong entrepreneur who has assembed this platform over the past decade by building some of the products from scratch and then buying others where it made sense.

In this advice filled interview with Wil we chatted about why he is so passionate about Startups.co, his strategy behind each of the products, what pieces might still be missing, how Startups.co is helping founders on a daily basis, how he decides when to buy a company and whether it will be a good fit, his strategy for managing 150+ employees and all the different products, what the future of Startups.co looks like, his biggest goals for 2017 and what generating revenue should be the #1 focus for 99% of startups. 

 

Thanks for listening.
