008 The Amazing Story of the Rotten Tomatoes Website with original CEO Patrick Lee

On today’s show, we sit down with Patrick Lee, the co-founder and former CEO of Rotten Tomatoes, a leading entertainment website focused on movie reviews and news. It is one of the top 800 most visited sites in the world. Patrick is now heavily involved with helping early-stage companies, advising companies such as Casetify, Credder, DNArt Inc., Instaread, Kiwi Campus, Leo AR, Magnesium Film, Oishii, WePloy, and Zeuss Technologies. He is a current or former mentor at SOSV, Berkeley SkyDeck, Blue Startups, Founder Institute, Mentorbox, Berkeley LAUNCH Startup Accelerator and was the executive Producer of "The Heavenly Kings", directed by Daniel Wu (Best New Director, 2007 Hong Kong Film Awards).

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The story behind one of the most popular websites in the world!
  • What it was really like to manage a startup during and after the stock market crash in 2000
  • What it is like when the company you built is acquired
  • What are the features that make a great accelerator program
  • What is the future for online streaming platforms

We would like to give a special thanks to Alan Tien for connecting us with Patrick Lee. Without Alan, this interview would not have been possible.
