In this episode of How I Built This Lab, Steve Case, co-founder of AOL, shares valuable business insights with callers. He discusses how launching a tech company today presents both unique challenges and opportunities. While the barriers to entry are lower than in the past, there's now fierce competition for attention. Among the callers seeking guidance were the founders of Coexist, a family organization app, mindyKNOWS, a concierge service for college parents, and Kidenza, a provider of early childhood music education. Case stresses the importance of perseverance, targeting a specific market, and carving out a unique niche, drawing from his own experiences with AOL to underscore these key points.
