Founding, Failing, Funding and Exiting With Sonny Mayugba
May 26, 2021, 10:00 PM
Mark talks about founding, failing, funding and exiting companies with the amazing Sacramento entrepreneur, Sonny Mayugba, whose new adventure as VP of Growth at Swimply has him on the company building journey once again. Swimply is the world’s first marketplace for homeowners to rent out their underutilized pools to local swimmers. Prior to Swimply, Sonny spent a year in venture capital, first as a Managing Director at Jason Calacanis’ LAUNCH and next as an Entrepreneur in Residence at Spero Ventures. A serial entrepreneur, Sonny first got hooked on startups by launching Heckler, a print/digital magazine that he scaled and sold to Times Mirror when he was 25. After that, Sonny went on to start multiple companies, among them Requested, a mobile app for restaurants & bars. Requested eventually merged with restaurant delivery app Waitr, where Sonny was the founding CMO. In charge of customer acquisition, brand identity, and revenue stewardship, Sonny helped grow Waitr Holdings to $800M annual revenue, expanded into 700 cities, and rang the Nasdaq Opening Bell when the company went public as Waitr Holdings (Nasdaq:WTRH) in 2018.
