   Listen to the podcast (duration: 37:13) >  Chris Herd is the co-founder and CEO of Firstbase, a remote-work infrastructure provider that helps both new ventures and large established companies onboard and serve their growing ranks of employees no longer venturing into the office. Chris and cofounder and CTO Trey Bastian actually launched Firstbase a year before the pandemic fueled the rise of remote work; as they were attempting to get their fintech startup off the ground, they learned firsthand how challenging it can be to get new remote employees set up with the right equipment and provide them an all-around positive experience at the outset. Since they made the pivot to Firstbase, their business has taken off; earlier this year, they raised $50 million in a Series B, bringing the total funding to around $65 million.
