This week's guest Daniel Walsh from VeroSkills shares the 3-year journey from the idea to current growth of his mission-driven learning platform.
Along the way, we explore:
🤑 The business model where students complete coding courses for free
📌 How Daniel focused his pitch after 175+ presentations to investorss
⚒️ Why his early attempts to build the product weren't working (and how Paralect helped turn it around)
🤖 Who should join and learn programming skills despite the advancement of AI
And much more — Daniel's been working in tech and leading companies for 13+ years and brings a wealth of experience and insights for founders to the show 🙏
"Every aspect of what we do is an impact-based platform. The companies that are engaged to make a greater impact — to move the needle. The students — they are being taken out of poverty and trained and put into this great opportunity. The tutors are some of the most skilled software engineers in the world — they're making great money already but they join our platform not to make more money, but to make a difference."
Enjoy the show 🚀
