Welcome back to How to Build an App! As a founder, there will come a time where you have to start bringing more people onto your team. Whether it’s finding a co-founder, bringing on a developer, or hiring a development shop, you can’t do this alone. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again, there is no one person who can strategize, concept, design, build, develop, test, AND launch your app. Chances are, you’ll have to go through the hiring process several times, especially if you’re looking to scale up. So how do you go about finding the right fit for your team? We brought Robb Lifferth on the show this week to deliver some great pointers! Robb is the co-founder and COO of IsoTalent, a technology enabled recruiting service with a 95% retention rate (15% higher than industry standard). IsoTalent helps companies hire faster and smarter, and reduces the average recruiting cost per hire by over 75%.

Forging Your Own Path to Success with Scott Paul (Wooly) 57:35

Welcome back to How To Build An App! As much as we’d all love a step by step roadmap as entrepreneurs, there is no exact formula. There’s no exact formula for building a successful startup, or a company that you can have a successful exit from. Being an entrepreneur is unpredictable and you have to be ready to forge your own way and solve problems that you won’t find the answers to on google. This week’s episode is all about breaking the mold and forging your own path to success. Our guest this week is Scott Paul, a repeat startup founder, angel investor, youtuber, and self-proclaimed hairfluencer! Having already founded 5 companies, Scott wanted to get in on helping to fund and mentor new founders, so they started HyperActive, seed capital for fellow founders. Since then, they’ve invested in over 65 startups, primarily in tech. We’ve quickly learned that an experience with Scott is always out of the box and against the grain—just how they like it. As Scott says, “Out of chaos comes greatness.” In this episode Scott shares the hard truth of being an entrepreneur and the mentality you need to succeed. --- Learn more about Wooly here: https://www.wooly.com/ Learn more about HyperActive here: https://hyperactivecap.com/ Follow Scott on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottpaul2/ Follow Scott on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/scottycoin --- This show is produced by Strides Development, a full-service app development agency.

Welcome back to How To Build An App! This week, we’ve got John Mayfield on the show with us. He’s the founder of a venture capital firm called Album VC, that invests in early-stage tech ventures. They’ve invested in over 80 companies and have grown to the point that their average investment is $1.5 million. You might recognize some of the big names they’ve worked with here in Utah, like Podium, Homie, and Divvy—which just sold for $2.5 billion by the way. You’re about to get a whole bunch of dating advice from John. And by dating advice, we mean advice on how to secure early-stage funding which is a process John relates to dating. Finding an investor isn’t just a one and done deal where they write a check and you‘re done with them. It’s a partnership that will go on for years, so you’ve got to make sure your vision is aligned, that you work well together, and things click. In this episode, John dives into the “courtship” process of finding an investor. He’s got some great insight on the do’s and don’ts of approaching investors, what will make you stick out as a founder, and what working with investors actually looks like. --- Learn more about Album VC here: https://www.album.vc/ Follow Harlan on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnmayfield/# --- This show is produced by Strides Development, a full-service app development agency.

Daniel has founded or been involved with successfully building over a dozen small businesses and startups. His most recent entrepreneurial venture is 401GO, the most innovative 401k platform in the world!

Building a Company That Will Sell with Josh Lindsey (American Business Brokers) 53:27

cách đây 3 years trước53:27

Would you rather have twenty-five percent of a company that sells for $8 billion, or a hundred percent of something that's worth $250 grand? With some quick math, that question should be pretty easy for anyone to answer. There’s much more profit in owning a portion of that $8 billion company! But why are we asking? This week’s episode is all about building a company that will sell, and one of the main points we’ll discuss is how your team will impact that ability. Many founders cling to the idea that they’ve got to do it ALL, and struggle to give up any control within their startup. Running a successful startup that will scale up and make you the big bucks is impossible if you try to do it on your own! You’ve got to build a company that can thrive without you, and that all starts with a solid and balanced founding team that possesses both the tech and sales knowledge to build and sell a viable product. Our guest this week is Joshua Lindsey, founder of American Business Brokers, and a leading authority in buying and selling businesses. On top of successfully selling 6 of his own businesses, he has successfully brokered over $40 million in business sales on behalf of others. In this episode Josh shares his knowledge on what founders can do early on to set their businesses up for a successful (and profitable) exit. --- Learn more about American Business Brokers here: https://americanbizbrokers.com/ Follow Josh on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshualindseyutah/ --- This show is produced by Strides Development, a full-service app development agency.

Welcome back to How To Build An App! This week, we’re talking about funding and investors. When it comes to startups, funding is a big topic of conversation. Are you going to bootstrap? Will you seek out investors? What kind of investors? When should you even start trying to get outside funding? Then you’ve got to consider how to pitch your product to investors and secure funding. What are they looking for? What do they view as red flags? That’s why we’ve brought Harlan Milkove onto the show this week. Harlan is a repeat start-up founder and an early-stage venture capital strategist. He’s currently the Managing Partner of Foundational, a management consulting company that helps startups secure early-stage venture capital funding.

How to Build an App Podcast | Episode 38 with Rand Fishkin (SparkToro) 1:05:21

cách đây 4 years trước1:05:21

Welcome back to How To Build An App! Just a couple of episodes back we were talking about how you can definitely build an app as a non-technical founder, but you HAVE to find someone who can fill the gaps in your knowledge and experience. We talk about this a ton! And it’s true for other elements, or you could even say requirements, for running a successful startup. For example, if you have the technical experience but lack marketing or business experience, you’ve gotta find someone who can fill that gap on your team. But how do you do that? How do you find someone with the particular skills that you need? How do you know if someone will actually be right for your team and will follow through on what they are offering? This week, we’ll be talking about this and more with our guest, Rand Fishkin, the founder of the marketing softwares Moz and Sparktoro. In this episode, Rand also shares his strategy of incremental validation, explains the importance of audience research, exposes the hard truth behind the venture capitalist industry, and shares hard-earned advice on how to make it as an entrepreneur. --- Learn more about SparkToro here: https://sparktoro.com/ Follow Rand on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/randfishkin/ Follow Rand on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/randfish Get Rand’s book, Lost and Founder on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0735213321/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0735213321&linkCode=as2&tag=everywherei09-20&linkId=401ea2b0cc358033253e657c711c2a88 --- This show is produced by Strides Development, a full-service app development agency.

Welcome back to How To Build An App! In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into how to create and present an investor-ready pitch deck. Our guest is Allison Byers, and honestly, she blew us away with her experience in this realm. Her background is actually in psychology and after being passed up for a job that she was way overqualified for, she decided to try her hand at business. Clearly, that worked out for her! She went from fundraising over 10 million dollars for a startup medical device company to founding her own fundraising platform, Scroobious. You’ll hear more about Scroobious in this episode, but basically it’s a virtual platform and community to quickly and meaningfully connect underrepresented founders, investors, and partners. This episode is definitely a must-listen for all founders. Allison covers what to include and not include in your pitch deck, how long it should be, tips on presenting, and even runs through different types of investors and what you should go for. This is your guide to creating a pitch deck that will lead you to the right investors and the funding you need for your own startup! --- Learn more about Scroobious here: https://www.scroobious.com/ Follow Allison on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allison-byers/ Follow Allison on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/apbyers?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor --- This show is produced by Strides Development, a full-service app development agency.

Welcome back to How To Build An App! In previous episodes, we’ve addressed the question of whether you can found a tech startup as a non-technical founder. Ultimately, the answer is YES but you absolutely need to find someone for your team that does have that technical background. Our guests this week, Carl Robinson and Joris Guerry, are a prime example of how well it plays out when you follow this advice and they have a bit of an interesting backstory. Carl and Joris were paired up through Entrepreneur First, which basically put them through the entrepreneur version of speed dating to find a cofounder! You’ll hear more about that story from them in this episode. Together they founded Rumble Studio, a SAAS company that allows users to produce spoken audio quickly, easily, and affordably with a unique conversational A.I. In this episode, Carl and Joris explain in more depth what Rumble Studio is and the ups and downs they have experienced throughout the development process.

Welcome back to How To Build An App! This week we’re sitting down with another founder of one of our earliest app builds! Doug Cartwright is the founder of The Daily Shifts, a personal development platform and media company with an online course, workshops, personal coaching, and a mobile app. The Daily Shifts app helps its users build healthy daily habits with growth challenges, daily mindfulness prompts, and instructional tools. The idea came to Doug as he was going through a rough patch in his own sales career and he started doubling down on personal development. He noticed that the more he focused on meditation, eating healthy, and daily goal setting he not only felt better, but his sales career started to expand. After developing a morning routine that worked really well for him and his sales team he started thinking about how he could turn it into a company. And then the idea hit him — it’s a simple, intuitive, and beautiful app that people can use each day to make small changes and small “shifts” in their life. The Daily Shifts was born. In this episode of How to Build An App, we’ll be walking you through the creation of The Daily Shifts app. Included in the discussion is insight about the importance of communication within your team, managing timeline and budget expectations, and how to build excitement and momentum behind your idea. --- Learn more about The Daily Shifts here: https://www.thedailyshifts.com/ Follow The Daily Shifts on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshifts/ Download the first chapter of Doug’s new book Holy Sh!t We’re Alive for free: https://www.thedailyshifts.com/book/free-chapter --- This show is produced by Strides Development, a full-service app development agency.

Welcome back to How To Build An App! This week we are sitting down with Chris Holmes, the founder of EquineTrader. Chris grew up riding, training, and owning horses. According to him, people either love horses or rarely give them a second thought. Chris is one of those people that absolutely loves horses. During a time when he was breeding and raising horses, Chris was planning on selling one of them and realized there was no place to sell a horse. Some of the few options he found were clunky, awkward, overwhelming, and extremely ineffective. This is where the idea for EquineTrader first made its debut, inspired purely by frustration. EquineTrader was our first app here at Strides Development so we’re really excited to include our listeners in this discussion. In this episode, we’ll walk you through the process of creating the app, obstacles we encountered, and lessons learned. We’ll be discussing pricing and budget, defining your target market, development timelines, product validation, and utilizing customer feedback.
