Episode 26: Building The Next Big Thing By Creating and Connecting Communities w/ Alex Taub CEO @ Upstream
I'm really excited about this week’s episode as we have Alex Taub, CEO of Upstream on the show.
I’ve recently had a chance to connect with Alex after he and his family moved to Miami in the this past find him to be one of the most thoughtful, approachable, and knowledge people in the tech scene.
Before coming to Miami, Alex was a fixture in the NY tech community working at companies such as Aviary and Dwolla before then going off to start his own company SocialRank. After SocialRank was acquired, he’s back at it again with a new company called Upstream, which is an incredible platform that is changing the way people connect and build professional communities.
On this episode Alex and I talk about a variety of topics including his background, what led to him creating Upstream, his plans for the future, how he thinks about building community, his biggest lessons learned, and much much more.
