How a Solo SaaS Founder Built and Sold His Startup for $36 Million – with Gregg Pollack [133]

How a Solo SaaS Founder Built and Sold His Startup for $36 Million

Gregg Pollack is a software developer and serial entrepreneur. In 2011, he founded Code School, an online learning platform that teaches you programming and web design skills. And 5 years later, he sold that business for $36 million.

He's also the founder of Envy Labs (a web consultancy) which he launched in 2009 and he's also the founder of Starter Studio, a business accelerator that combines mentorship with educational events to help startups in Orlando, Florida.

I first came across him, years ago when I watched his Rails for Zombies tutorial to learn Ruby on Rails. And I'm glad to finally have him as a guest on this show.
