302: Nathan Hirsch: How To Create A Virtual Company Culture To Grow Your Business

My guest in this episode is Nathan Hirsch. Nathan has
bootstrapped two companies to become multi-million dollar
businesses and he continues to run them today. He started the
first, Portlight, in his college dorm room selling textbooks on
Amazon.com in 2009. Along with his partners, he expanded to other
product categories and has sold over $20 mil on the marketplace.
At its peak, they were managing over 500,000 products on their
Amazon store from over 1,000 drop ship suppliers.


After much frustration hiring through Upwork and other platforms,
Nathan along with his business partner started their own online
hiring marketplace specialized for eCommerce biz owners in Fall
2015. FreeeUp.com now services over 2,000 online businesses and
they are on pace to hit $3 to $4 million this year. Nathan serves
as the CEO handling client acquisition, software management, and
internal team growth.
