For the 118th episode of our podcast, I interviewed Sam Dunn, Co-Founder and CEO at Robin.
I have a strong appreciation for entrepreneurs, as it is really hard to build and scale a business. But, starting a company while you are still in college is a whole different ball game that requires guts and determination.
Sam, along with his twin brother Zach, and Brian Muse, the 3rd co-founder and CTO, have never worked professionally for anyone else. They started One Mighty Roar while they were still in college and this business eventually evolved into Robin.
Robin is a SaaS workplace scheduling and management platform that is modernizing the open office. Back in May, the company raised a $20M Series B round of funding to help fuel their growth.
In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of topics, like:
- Office trends, and some interesting hacks on how to set up workplaces.
- The background story of Robin and how the company evolved from an agency to a product company.
- A deep dive into Robin, its platform and the value it provides for their customers.
- The experience of raising capital through multiple rounds.
- Their thought process behind their pricing model.
- The three questions Sam uses to evaluate talent.
- And so much more.
