Meet Matt Reid (@Matthew_Reid) is the founder of PriceWell — a no-code tool for building Stripe subscriptions for your website. 

In this episode of Zero to (point) One, Matt and Zach chat about:

  • lessons Matt learned about startups while working as an early team member at Naked Wines
  • how Matt convinced his boss at his day job to let him work one full day on PriceWell each week
  • what to consider when searching for a co-founder 
  • how to find the first best target audience for your product

About the Show

Zero to (point) One is hosted by yours truly, Zach Busekrus (@zboozee).   

I’m an entrepreneur in residence at a marketing firm by day and building my own start up Sponstayneous by night.   

Sponstayneous brings subscribers the best last-minute deals and upcoming steals on Airbnb.  My wife and I co-founded the company while living full-time on Airbnb last year.  

There’s a lot of podcasts out there that feature entrepreneurs:

  • once they’ve gone public
  • once they’ve had an exit
  • or even once they’ve made their first million.  

But not as many that feature the first-time Product Hunt launchers, the Indie Hacker that has yet to go viral on Twitter, or the micro influencer who wants to build their first niche product.   

And there’s where this show comes in.

Zero to (point) One features a collection of ideas that may go nowhere, or just might change the world, from people you've never heard of, who may just become household names.   

A nod to tech founder Peter Thiel's Zero to One framework, Zero to (point) One explores the beginnings of (very) early-stage creators and entrepreneurs whose first chapters are still being written.    

Each guest featured on the show has MRR of $500 - $10k (no more and no less) or has 10k - 100k followers on Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter.   

Come and meet the next generation of builders wherever you get your podcasts every Friday morning.   

If you’d like to be on the show or if you know someone who might be a good fit for the show, send me an email at zach@sponstayneous.com or DM me on Twitter @zboozee.   

Finally, be sure to subscribe — who knows?  You may just meet your future co-founder, your next great investment, or the next Steve or Elon right here.
