In 2020, Alex MacCaw charted a new course by replacing himself as CEO at Clearbit, selling all his possessions and living full-time on a sailboat in the Atlantic.
Now he’s building his new company @reflect-notes in with a totally different approach — building a fully remote & asynchronous “lifestyle” company that decidedly eschews VC money and the other common hallmarks of a tech startup.
In this conversation with Blake, Alex shares everything he’s learned as a founder and why he believes building startups should not be one-size-fits-all.
Tune in as we unpack:
👉 Pros/Cons of being asynchronous by design
👉 When to replace yourself as CEO
👉 When startups should (or shouldn’t) raise venture capital
👉 Advice for VCs from a founder
All that and more on this episode of BUILD.
