On this episode of Think Like A Founder, SNP Co-Founder & CEO, Maureen Taylor, speaks with Hiroki Takeuchi, Co-Founder and CEO of GoCardless. They talk about catching the startup bug, not outsourcing your core value, and the excitement of the unknown.
From small businesses to enterprises, GoCardless makes it easy to collect payments from customers worldwide. By simplifying the transaction process, they help reduce operational costs and improve cash flow to help businesses grow. Before founding GoCardless in 2011 with Matt Robinson and Tom Blomfield, Hiroki worked as a business analyst at McKinsey & Company. GoCardless is now valued at nearly one billion dollars.
