Jafar Owainati, Founder of Loopio ($200M+ Raised) | How to Start your Second Startup

Season 2 Episode 12 Published 2 years, 10 months ago
Description

Starting your second startup should be much easier, right? Well, yes and no. 

Jafar was the founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Loopio, which went on to raise $200M+ and land thousands of customers.  He left to start Barley. This is the story of how he decided to leave, and what it was like to start over a second time.

On the one hand, some things, like fundraising, are much easier. On the other hand, the 0 to 1 journey is just as hard. Delivering value in a big market is no easy task, even if you've learnt from prior mistakes.

In this episode, he shares what skills transfer over and which ones don't. If you're a repeat founder, or a prior founder thinking of starting a new one, check this episode out.
