Jun 19, 2014 From Zero to $100 Million IPO in 6 Years
The online education market in 2008 was virtually non-existent and with the economy in shambles at the time, there just wasn’t much progress being made. However Chip Paucek, co-founder of the online education company 2U, still saw an opportunity and the foresight of what could potentially become down the road. Fast forward six years later and 2U is now in the hands of the public, successfully raising $100M in their recent IPO.
Chip sits down with Scott Gerber of Founder’s Forum to discuss what it’s like to lead a fast-growing company. He shares three critical tips that applies to all start-ups, regardless of industry: FOCUS. HIRE UP. INNOVATE, DON’T CHANGE.
