In this episode of the podcast, Bela Musits interviews Michael Segal. Michael is the founder and CEO of Skylight. Skylight is a leading digital photo frame and digital calendar brand that helps families stay connected.

Michael founded Skylight in 2014 while he was a student at Harvard Business School living hundreds of miles away from family, and was eager to invent a device that made it easy to share photos with far-away loved ones in a unique way. After raising $55K on Kickstarter, he created one of the first Wi-Fi connected digital photo frames which started shipping a few months later. Since launching, Skylight has grown to over 5 million users, and has become the #1 best-selling brand of digital photo frames on Amazon. Despite coming from a VC background, Michael has managed to grow the company profitably for nearly a decade entirely through bootstrapping.

I found our conversation inspiring and a great example of entrepreneurship. So please give the episode a listen!
