In this episode, I’m speaking with Max Kolysh, one of the founders of zinc.io. Zinc is an e-commerce lab that builds products that helps tens of thousands of Amazon and eBay sellers with listing creation, inventory management, pricing and order fulfillment.

Max co-founded Zinc back in 2014. They went through Y-Combinator, and raised a seed round of $400k, and are now doing $6M in ARR.

We chat about several topics, including:

  • His experience at Y-Combinator
  • Bootstrapping challenges
  • Building and scaling a team
  • Challenges of scaling up to $6M ARR in a few short years
  • Tips on battling churn
  • Much more!

It was a great pleasure speaking with Max, I have no doubt you’ll get a ton of value and insights in this episode. Enjoy!
