Ep 157 Hangry by The Founder of GrubHub Mike Evans

Show Notes Mike Evans

Mike Evans

I’m building a new company, Fixer. We’re a “right now” handyman service. Using our website, anyone in Chicago can book a fixer in minutes for whatever time is convenient for them. Our fixers are full time employees with benefits, as our company is committed to creating a career path alternative to the “gig” economy. Before Fixer, I went to MIT where I graduated with a pile of degrees and an equally impressive pile of debt. After that adventure, I co-founded GrubHub because I was frustrated with futilely searching for delivery restaurants and grumbling through inaccurate orders. I wrote version one of GrubHub.com in 2004 then armed with a “Sales for Dummies” book, I bootstrapped the business for two years. From there, I lead GrubHub through 5 financing rounds, a couple of acquisitions, a merger, and ultimately an IPO. Phew! Sign up to preorder my memoir, Hangry, at mikeevans.com.

We talk about

How is riding a bike cross country like building a company?

How long should a Founder be out there selling a product?

What are the terms on a term sheet that founders should be aware of?

What is the significance of a website that makes 1 dollar vs zero dollars?

How does one go through life content or discontent?
