About Aaron Dragushan

After dropping out of school to start my first company, I launched several more over the years. Most failed, but some succeeded.

Looking back, across various businesses and working together with amazing teams:

πŸ”₯ Hired over 100 people, focused on creating great work culture (servant leadership, employee autonomy, open books & sharing financial returns).

πŸš€ Went from a standing start to $50M/year ARR in just 2.5 years, and a strategic acquisition by RetailMeNot.

πŸ’° Returned 20x MOIC and 4x MOIC to investors, depending on when they invested (we love you Dan!).

πŸ₯³ Featured in: NYT, WSJ, WIRED, Time magazine, Techcrunch, NBC, ABC, CNN & CBS.

πŸ“ž Our system saved people from 11.4 YEARS of waiting on hold.

It was a lot of fun, but in the startup world it seems you’re either bailing out water as the ship is sinking or holding on tight as you rocket upwards.

Startups are never steady.

I’m drawn to the ETA space because a steadily-profitable business allows leaders to work on the business rather than in the business.
