His journey started when he started building products & wrote blogs for different companies - he was in New Zealand. He was the first writer for Mashable. All of this while he was just 14!After sometime, he joined Teachable as a founding engineer. He grew in his role all the way to VP of product & with teachable doing reasonably well - he thought about why he origionally moved to the US.Despite having his family in US, he took some hard decisions to leave the job & freelance for Gumroad to bootstrap. We also talk about raising the first $1M & getting an offer from Tiger Global for their Series A which they couldn't refuse.This was such a fun podcast - going into a founder's life with every tiny detail. I had so much fun chatting with Sid, I'm sure you'll enjoy listening too! :)

Sid is the Co-founder of Circle. He immigrated to the US with the goal of building his company. After building Teachable as a founding engineer & VP of product, he decided to take the risk of leaving the job & hack on different ideas. Sid's journey is incredible - it's a classic "American Dream" story. We talk about his background, the big decisions he had to make & how he tackled different problems he faced on the journey. I felt so inspired after this conversation, I'm sure it'll inspire you too! Specially if you're someone who's thinking about doing something of your own - I'd highly recommend hearing his story!
