Venture for America (VFA) is an incredible organization and a longtime Splash customer. So when they invited our co-founder to appear on their new podcast with CBS called "Smart People Should Build Things," it was a no brainer.
Every week, host Jeremy Shinewald talks to startup founders like Birchbox's Katia Beauchamp, Sailthru's Neil Capel and Gilt Groupe's Alexandra Wilkis Wilson. His interview style is great: he does an amazing job at getting these entrepreneurs to really open up about the raw, gritty side of success – not just the perfectly-coiffed success stories we're used to reading in the tech & business pubs.
In the latest episode, Shinewald sat down with our charismatic co-founder and CEO, Ben Hindman. Ben tells his fascinating tale about how he built and scaled a product that can be used by any business or brand who markets through their events: from Budweiser to the Pope.
According to the folks at VFA, "this might have been one of the most entertaining episodes of The Venture for America Podcast we've had thus far."
I'll just leave this right here, and you can decide for yourself. Enjoy.
