Matheus Riolfi shares insights on growing a venture-backed startup and the lessons learned from his journey as a non-technical entrepreneur.

Matheus Riolfi is the founder and CEO of tint.ai, a company that provides embeddable insurance to tech platforms and marketplaces. Unlike most founders I speak to that are bootstrapped - Matheus followed a different journey. Launching in 2018, Matheus led his company through YC (Y Combinator), and most recently closed a $25 million Series A round. We cover several topics, including: - Why he chose to get funding, rather than bootstrap - How Tint maintains a positive workplace culture as a fully remote team - How his role as CEO continues to evolve - The most important skills a new founder should possess - Much more Follow Matheus Riolfi on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mriolfi/ Check out Tint: https://www.tint.ai/
