#1845 The $8 billion dollar software you’ve never heard of

Startup Stories - Mixergy - A podcast by Andrew Warner - Fridays

A while back I saw a Q&A on CNN with today’s guest, Ryan Smith, where he was asked, “What’s the most important company we’ve never heard of?” His answer was Qualtrics. And I’ve thought about this company several times since I saw that. Well, I finally got an opportunity to interview that founder. Ryan Smith is the co-founder of Qualtrics. A lot of articles describe them as a survey company, but I bet he does not see himself as a survey company. I’m going to ask him how he went from starting this company in his dad’s house back in 2002 and selling it to SAP in 2018.

Ryan Smith is the founder of Qualtrics, an experience management platform.
