It’s great to be back, Andrew.Īndrew: Yeah, it’s good to have you back here. Oh, and Time Magazine called DuckDuckGo one of the top 50 sites of 2011. So here’s my big question for this interview, the question that I’m walking into this conversation with: how does a single founder go up against Google in search and actually get traction? Joining me is Gabriel Weinberg, founder of DuckDuckGo, a search engine that has about 10 million direct queries per month and recently raised $3 million from some of the smartest investors in the business.

I bring back their ideas so that you can go out there, use them and hopefully do what today’s guest is doing, which is an interview where you teach others what you’ve learned. I’m the founder of, home of the ambitious upstart, a site where we learn from successful people how they did it. Plus, Shopify makes it easy to set up a beautiful store and manage it,. If you have an idea to sell anything, set up your store on because Shopify stores are designed to increase sales. He built a store to sell it and in a few months, he generated about $1 million dollars in sales. Add it to your site and see what happens, .Īnd remember Patrick Buckley, who I interviewed? He came up with an idea for an iPad case. So try this: go to and get a phone number that will make your company sound professional. But seeing a real number increases their confidence in her and they buy. She said that she has a phone number on every page of her site because, and here’s the stat, 95% of the people who call end up buying.

See him at .Īnd do you remember when I interviewed Sara Sutton Fell about how thousands of people pay for her job site? Look at the biggest point that she made. Scott Edward Walker is the entrepreneur’s lawyer. If you read his articles on Venture Beat, you’d know that he can help you with issues like raising money or issuing stock options or even deciding whether to form a corporation. If you’re a tech entrepreneur, don’t you have unique legal needs that the average lawyer can’t help you with? That’s why you need Scott Edward Walker of Walker Corporate Law. Andrew: Three messages before we get started.
