SummaryHey everyone. Stay tuned to the end of the interview where I’ll give you some actionable insights that I learned from my guest. These insights are also in the show notes. As always, thanks for listening.
Now on to my guest for today, Richard White, founder and CEO of two SaaS companies, Fathom and UserVoice.
An engineer who develops tools to "scratch an itch," Richard founded Fathom to solve a problem he was facing: how to take good notes on Zoom calls. As he was frequently talking to customers on Zoom, he wanted a better way to capture those insights while in conversation. Fathom uses a combination of tools to address this problem, which became a top-rated app on the Zoom app marketplace.
Richard's experience provides insight into the process of founding a startup - and how doing it the second time around can be a bit easier. Richard says, while his first endeavor was a journey in just figuring out what he was doing, with his second one, he came in with a better idea of what to expect. While his first company was mostly bootstrapped, Fathom has had funding from the start, which Richard acknowledges was essential for this particular product. He also had people he could tap to develop the product and start selling it, another advantage of being a serial entrepreneur.
Richard is a strong believer in the power of good customer service and of soliciting customer feedback in order to make the best product possible. Indeed, UserVoice is a tool that enables companies to get feedback. In our conversation, Richard explains the ways he collects the feedback and puts it to use to make better products and customer experiences.
Now, let’s get better together.
