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%.

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

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.
