Description
Welcome to The EARLY Podcast where we go beyond the founder story. EARLY POD dives into the minds of early employees at iconic startups — the builders, hustlers & OPERATORS who were there BEFORE the world was watching.
Hosted by Max Crowley (Uber’s employee #25), each episode unpacks the wild ride of growing companies from scrappy to scale — and the lessons learned along the way.
Starting with Uber, EARLY POD, will explore other iconic startups like Twitter, WeWork, Coinbase, Airbnb, Youtube, Google, Facebook and many more!!
