Forward Thinking Founders

This was a fantastic conversation with Jay Patel, who is a co-founder of Midtype. As described on their website, Midtype "provides a hosted backend with user login, payments, a database, and much more built-in. Focus on your core product without reinventing the wheel." I think you'll love this episode if you're working on any type of software product.

What is Forward Thinking Founders?

Forward Thinking Founders is a founder podcast where we interview high potential founders from networks like Y Combinator, The Thiel Fellowship, Product Hunt, Twitter, etc. and brings to light what they're building for the world. Think of it like the opposite of How I Built This, where we interview founders before they are successful, then if they are, we have a moment in time we can look back on in the early days. Does the model work? Look at our early interviews and you'll have your answer.
