Mint.com CEO Aaron Patzer recently did a great presentation called “Everything you wanted to know about startup building, but were afraid to ask“. In it he chronicles the development of Mint.com from the germ of an idea all the way to exit. (Mint sold to Intuit for $170M.)
It’s not just an interesting story. He talks in fine detail about costs, salaries he paid himself and employees, equity, business model… all the things you’d need to know if you wanted to build your own company. This sort of detail is usually kept hush-hush.
The accompanying slides are here.
Every startup founder should watch this.
This is great Osh, thanks! Just the kind of granular info needed before taking the plunge.
