It was so long ago that two new inventions, Twitter and the iPhone, played a central role in Jeremy’s next two decades after his cofounder-to-be, Fred Schebesta, asked on the social media site whether to buy the new Apple product or Nokia N95. Jeremy already had an iPhone and shared his thoughts with Fred.
That moment would transform what was then known as Credit Card Finder into one of the world’s most successful comparison sites, last valued at $650 million.
He spent the next 16 years as COO driving Finder’s global growth, before stepping down from an operational role in September last year. Jeremy remains an advisor to the Finder team, led by OG CEO and cofounder Frank Restuccia.
“I’m driven by 3 things, connection, growth, and helping people. They’re my 3 values,” Jeremy told Startup 360’s cohosts, Majella and Simon.
He “accidentally ended up becoming an advisor to businesses” after he posted on LinkedIn and more than 170 companies reached out for help. He’s now a startup coach and growth advisor.
It’s a long and fascinating episode covering the lessons of building Finder, Jeremy’s ambitions for the future and where he things tech is going and what it takes to build a great business.
