Description

Tate started doing commercial fishing at 16. He took that money and started lending it— on Craigslist! By 23 years old, he’d lent out $250,000. Then he found out about cash advances, and decided to start ZayZoon, a platform to help employers pay their employees faster.

Tate was one of the early pioneers of the entire Earned Wage Access space. By partnering with payroll companies and employers, ZayZoon lets employees access their earned wages faster.
It took Tate and his co-founders 4 years to get to their first million of ARR. And as soon as they felt they had it, revenue crashed 60% in a quarter. The team got things back on track and since then has grown from 20 to 200 employees— revenue is now closer to $100M than $10M.
Here’s the story.

Why you should listen:

  • Why you need to be all-in at the early stages
  • How to arm channel patterns to sell your product
  • How to re-position your product so it’s clear you solve customer problems
  • Why it can take years for a new category to take off
