Hello and welcome back to Equitya podcast about the business of startups, where we unravel the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.
This is our Wednesday show, where we narrow down to one person, reflect on their work, and unwrap the rest. This week, Natasha interviewed Roger Lee, an entrepreneur who has spent the better part of a decade building tools for both employees and employers. Lee is the creator of Fired.FYI and co-founder of Extensive and Human interest.
This is what we started:
- Roger’s introduction to entrepreneurship during the dot-com bubble
- How the pandemic destigmatized layoffs
- How Comprehensive – described as the reverse of Layoffs.FYI – helps employees level up
- The importance of crowdsourcing and to making money, or not making money… transparency
- We ended, as usual, with a lightning round and learned where Lee’s career was could be would have gone if he hadn’t chosen the founding path (hint: it’s not VC).
