How to Build a Company Remotely, with Wade Foster of Zapier

After their day jobs wrapped, Wade and his co-founders spent their
nights building what would eventually become Zapier, the workflow
automation tool. Originally based in Missouri, they decided to put
their full focus onto their budding startup by joining the Y
Combinator accelerator. Zapier is now one of the
highest valued companies to come out of the program.
Today, it has millions of users and connects to more
than 2,000 apps. Wade shares how he got his first beta
customer from a cold email, how the
company's formula for scaling is a blend of data and
intuition, and the surprising upsides of having relied
on a fully remote team from the earliest days.
