August 31: For this episode of the JCurve I am thrilled to bring you my conversation with Parker Treacy, founder and CEO at Cobli, Brazilian telematics and fleet management platform that has recently raised $35M Series B from the likes of Softbank, Fifth Wall, Qualcomm Ventures and Valor Capital. Prior to that, Parker founded First Help Financial now one of the largest independent auto finance companies in the United States.
In today's episode we will learn:
1. What are Parker's key learnings of starting First Help Financial fresh out of college?
2. How to build a high performing sales organization for SaaS companies?
3. Why founders' competitive advantage is their pace of learning?
4. What would be Parker's approach towards fundraising and running operations if he were to raise Series B during recession?
5. What are the next billion dollar company building opportunities nobody's pursuing yet?
