On this week's episode of Just Go Grind, hear from Myles Hunter, co-founder and CEO of Los Angeles-based TutorMe, an on-demand tutoring platform serving students from kindergarten through graduate school.
Key Takeaways:
- Hunter used AngelList to find a technical co-founder. That decision led to him hiring a Russian and then traveling to both Russia and Bali to build the infrastructure of the company.
- Early on, TutorMe decided to build its technical infrastructure from scratch, so they wouldn't have to use a third party and so they could keep their platform proprietary and independent.
- After deciding TutorMe should be venture-backed, Hunter joined Jason Calacanis' accelerator program to help it grow.
"I would say to start [fundraising] early. It's a long process. There's a lot of uncertainty to the fundraising process... It's something where you have to prepare to really be rejected a lot." — Myles Hunter
