“In The Soup” Podcast Launches

GrepBeat’s newest podcast, “In The Soup,” launches today with host Jenn Summe and Melissa Crosby of Primordial. The weekly podcast will address questions from founders in the startup community, and Jenn and Melissa will gather perspectives and answers from local founders and other experts around the Triangle. This week’s question is:

I’ve been working on an idea as a side hustle for a few months, and I’ve got a list of folks who would want to become paying customers… At what point do I quit my full-time job to pursue this idea? How long can I keep doing both?

In the inaugural episode, Anil Chawla, founder of ArchiveSocial, and Meghan Corroon, founder of ClerData, give their perspectives and share their personal experience of when to make this leap into entrepreneurship.

Hosts Jenn Summe & Melissa Crosby

Each week will cover a new topic, with questions ranging from idea stage to launch stage to growth stage and beyond. Some areas that we’ll cover include:

• Getting Started - going from idea to launch

• Building a team and figuring out compensation

• Equity - who to give it to and how much

• Best practices for fundraising

• Pathways to reaching product-market fit

• When it’s worth it to spend on an attorney

• What metrics matter to show growth

• How to build scalable sales processes
