#68 - Jindou Lee, CEO and founder of HappyCo on Scaling a Global Business and Creating a World-Class Culture


In this episode:

In this episode,  Jindou shows us that success comes from being vulnerable, not being afraid to just have a go, and putting yourself into uncomfortable situations.
Jindou and Daniel went down many rabbit holes, but some of the topics we explored were:

    • Recently seed funding where HappyCo raised $72 million in seed funding
    • How to attract investors and funding
    • The ups and downs of growing and scaling a business, dealing with knockbacks uncertainty and all the ambiguity of being an entrepreneur
    • The importance of creating a culture where people want to work
    • Recruiting people who share the same core values and behaviours
    • Time vs energy allocation - how the things you love doing don't suck up the energy 
    • How and why he decided to scale outside of Australia and into the US 
    • What the future holds for HappyCo and much more.
