In the first podcast episode, Katya interviews Yaakov, the CEO and co-founder of Chatra. Yaakov started Chatra with three co-founders in 2015 after closing their previous venture, Getwear. By 2021, they reached a 7-digit ARR and sold the company to Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) at a valuation unheard of in the bootstrapped world. We talk about Yakov’s story and what he learned on the way.
