Episode description
Ep. 23 introduces you to Ted Mauze, co-founder and CEO of Chalkboard, which is a mobile app that offers messaging and synced bet tracking for sports bettors and fans.
Hear him discuss:
- How discussing sports betting in group messages with his college friends sparked the idea for building Chalkboard
- Why he pushed back on the traditional advice of "launch early" in favor of staying in stealth mode while developing the core technology
- How Chalkboard is tapping into the creator economy to help fuel its growth, which has resulted in 25% week-over-week growth
- How he is adjusting to the changing macroeconomic environment ahead of raising a seed round, and why he believes it's "a good thing" that valuations are coming down in response
