Today on The Casey Adams Show I sat down with Sam Rattner.

In this captivating episode, we sit down with Sam Rattner, the visionary founder of Victory and Showroom, who sold his first company for a staggering $40M at just 23. Sam takes us through his thrilling journey in the online gambling and fashion e-commerce industries, sharing the highs and lows of building a business in a regulated market. He emphasizes the importance of taking risks early in life, being fully informed before pitching investors, and the concept behind Showroom—a revolutionary vertical-specific search engine for fashion and e-commerce.

Takeaways

-Starting a business in a regulated market requires navigating complex regulatory processes and compliance requirements.

- Building an asset along the way is important, as it increases the value of the business and makes it more attractive to potential buyers.

- Taking risks early in life, when there are fewer responsibilities, can lead to greater opportunities and success.

- When pitching investors, it is important to be fully informed about the business and to have a clear understanding of the market and competition.

- The future of shopping may involve vertical-specific search engines that provide a more personalized and efficient shopping experience. Product discovery is a challenge in the e-commerce industry, and traditional keyword-based search engines are not effective in helping users find what they are looking for.

- Building relationships with partners is crucial for Showroom's success, and the company curates a list of high-quality brands to ensure a positive user experience.

Today I sit down with my good friend Jordan DeCicco to talk about the growth of his company, Super Coffee. The company was started in 2015, when the youngest brother Jordan, who was a starting basketball player at Philadelphia University, started brewing coffee in his dorm room as a way to stay up late nights and manage a busy student athlete schedule. Once they turned it into a company,  Jordan's brother Jim left his job as financial analyst for The Blackstone Group, the middle brother Jake stayed on for just one more year to get his undergraduate degree, and Jordan decided to drop out of school to accept the Peter Thiel Fellowship. The NY-based enterprise currently has 90 full-time employees and has seen an explosive growth in revenue since its inception.
