Justin Chen was a serial entrepreneur who ended up co-founding the company PickFu out of necessity. Justin and his partner were working on a different business rebranding and redesigning the website and realized they needed feedback from their actual target audience, not just family and friends. Over a Thanksgiving weekend, they designed something to help them, which is now PickFu.

In this episode of “Authors Who Lead," I talk to Justin Chen about his entrepreneurial journey and how PickFu, a micro survey platform, is designed to help authors and businesses to make data-driven decisions.
