At age 22, Whitney Wolfe helped launch Tinder, one of the world's most popular dating apps. But a few years later, she left Tinder and filed a lawsuit against the company alleging sexual harassment. The ensuing attention from the media – and cyberbullying from strangers – prompted her to launch Bumble, a dating app where women make the first move. Today, the Bumble app has been downloaded close to 30 million times. PLUS in our postscript "How You Built That," we check back with Michael Dixon, whose business Mobile Vinyl Recorders uses portable record lathes to cut vinyl at parties, weddings, and music festivals.

Noom is a mobile health app subscription service that encourages people to make behavioral changes to live healthier lives. The company was founded by Saeju Jeong & Artem Petakov in 2008.

Co-founder Saeju Jeong's father, WooGil, was a well-known obstetrician-gynecologist who founded a hospital in Yeosu, South Korea. However, he passed away from lung cancer at the age of 51. Before his father's death, Saeju ran a thriving heavy metal music label called BuyHard Productions. But, after his father's demise, he decided to start fresh and embark on a new path.

Artem Petakov and Saeju Jeong met at a dinner in New York City in 2005 and quickly bonded over their shared immigrant status and interest in technology. Petakov had taken a class at Princeton with Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman and was thinking about habit changes, such as going to the gym and getting healthier.

Jeong was immediately drawn to the idea and convinced Petakov to start a company. Petakov hesitated as he had just started a new job at Google but eventually left to work on the new venture with Jeong.

The founders had figured that Android would quickly eclipse Apple's iOS in user numbers, and that would give them instant scale. They were right, sort of. Over eight months, the app climbed to the top spot in the Android rankings of most-downloaded fitness apps.

While Noom does advertise a free one-week trial, a subscription costs up to $59 a month. Each plan is individualized, and the recommended duration of the program is based on the amount of weight you want to lose.

The company, which makes an app that employs psychological principles to nudge its users into making healthier lifestyle choices, increased its annual revenue from $237 million to $400 million in 2020.

It raised $540 million in a Series F investment round in May 2021 from such heavy hitters as Silver Lake and Sequoia Capital, and it's been rumored to be eyeing an IPO in the coming year at a $10 billion valuation.

Key Success Indicators:

• The company's platform is used by leading healthcare and pharmaceutical companies to improve patient treatment outcomes.
• Noom has a virtual diabetes prevention program that the CDC has recognized.
• The company's first foray beyond weight loss, Noom Mood, launched in October and aims to tackle another hot topic in the time of Covid: stress and anxiety.
• Noom launched in early 2007 under the name WorkSmart Labs.
• It has helped over 50 million people and is headquartered in New York City with employees working worldwide.

Hi, my name is Jared Brown and I am a co-founder of Hubstaff. We started the company eight years ago to build a time tracking tool that included “proof of work”. The initial goal was to solve the issue of non-developer owners and managers not knowing how long development tasks should take and feeling helpless when they suspected the freelancers they hired were billing them for more hours than they were actually working.

We started charging for our product in August of 2013 and we were recently named one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the U.S. for the second year in a row. We are about to hit 10,000 paying customers and $6,000,000 in annual recurring revenue.

Hi, Everyone! My name is Yaniv Masjedi and I’m the CMO of Nextiva, a leading business communications company based in Scottsdale, Arizona. I’ve been with the company since the very beginning (spring 2008) when we signed our first customer.

We’ve also grown exponentially since those early days in 2008. While we started with a few people in a windowless conference room, we now have more than 1,000 team members spread out across offices across the world.

Site Alert was acquired by the team at Southport Ventures in April 2021. Although we are not the founders, we have found a good home for this great product. We purchased the product from Frank Corso, a dedicated and vigilant developer that wanted it to end up in good hands. We liked the metrics, the customer base, and the quality of the codebase. This was an easy deal to love, and the business has only grown since we purchased it.

Since our April 2021 acquisition, we’ve continued to run it well over 50% net profit margin while also growing it 51%.
