In this episode we go over strategy and tactics I've learned over the last year of building the Curtsy team to 30 people:

Why you can ignore inbound in the early days
The real reason to do reference calls
Two ways to get replies on LinkedIn
Why you don't really need to "sell"
Interview questions that aren’t boring

Something Like That

I'm David Oates, twenty-something dropout and founder/CEO at Curtsy, the sustainable way to shop and sell clothes online. This is Something Like That, my new podcast where I share hot-off-the-press learnings from growing up and building Curtsy. The phrase "something like that" celebrates lack of precision in speech, aka, not sweating the details. Here we're all about getting it basically right (but not exactly). All stories are paraphrased, names of things often forgotten, and opinions certain to change. Join in the conversation @sltpod and subscribe to new episodes at https://sltpod.com.
