Ian Morris, the CEO of Likewise, talks about the exciting things that he and his team are building at Likewise to help all of us get better recommendations about what to watch, read, and experience next. Before Likewise, Ian spent 7 years at Microsoft where he helped create and went on to lead Microsoft HomeAdvisor. He then served 10 years as the CEO of Market Leader, the real estate software leader that he took public and later sold to Trulia in 2013. Now, with Likewise, an innovative company which was originally imagined and is funded by Bill Gates’ private office, he is out to change the way we all discover, collect, and share recommendations about the things we are passionate about. Ian opens up about his passion for entrepreneurship which dates back to his college years, how he led Market Leader through the crash of the real estate market, and the values he and his wife try to instill in their children. His fuel for “the people side of things” and his passion for the exciting things they’re building at Likewise is contagious.
