Welcome back to How to Build an App!

Marketing is a major pillar across every space, if you are not marketing now you will start very soon. 

Posting social content is one of the many ways to find and reach a wider audience for your target demographic.  It also allows you to build a community of loyal followers and find new supporters. 

Chances are you will need to post social content, and in doing so you will find that managing content across teams and social platforms is a huge challenge for many companies. 

We brought on Thibaud Clément on the show to tell us about his product Loomly.

Welcome back to How To Build An App!

This week, we’ve brought Walter Cruttenden, the co-founder of Acorns onto the show!

I feel like everyone’s heard of Acorns, but if you haven’t, it’s a micro-investing platform that allows users to set up automated investments through round-ups.

Basically Acorns rounds up a debit or credit card purchase to the nearest dollar and invests the change for you automatically.

It’s a super cool platform that’s helped A LOT of people save money and get into investing, and Walter is going to tell us all about how it came to be!

In this episode, you’ll get to hear the Acorn's backstory and how Walter and his son built the company and scaled it up.

We’ll talk about the challenges they had to overcome, breakthroughs they made, ups and downs, failures and successes, tidbits of advice for new founders and everything in between.

Welcome back to How to Build an App!

As a founder, there will come a time where you have to start bringing more people onto your team.

Whether it’s finding a co-founder, bringing on a developer, or hiring a development shop, you can’t do this alone.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again, there is no one person who can strategize, concept, design, build, develop, test, AND launch your app.

Chances are, you’ll have to go through the hiring process several times, especially if you’re looking to scale up.

So how do you go about finding the right fit for your team?

We brought Robb Lifferth on the show this week to deliver some great pointers!

Robb is the co-founder and COO of IsoTalent, a technology enabled recruiting service with a 95% retention rate (15% higher than industry standard).

IsoTalent helps companies hire faster and smarter, and reduces the average recruiting cost per hire by over 75%.

Basically, it’s their job to find the best fit for each company with speed and efficiency.

In this episode, Robb breaks down the challenges of the hiring process, and some important things to keep in mind so that you’re hiring the best candidates for your startup.
