The “Fog of War” is a term that describes the uncertainty and lack of information experienced by participants in military operations. Building a startup is very similar. Decisions need to be made quickly. Stuff needs to be built. Processes need to be defined. People need to be hired, and teams put together. There’s lots of coffee, uncertainty, changes, late nights and robust debates Mike Stack! 12 months into our startup journey it’s a great boost for our brilliant Beam team, now over 20 people, to see positive reviews rolling in. We created Beam to take the unnecessary stress out of buying or remortgaging a house. We’re focused on building a great team, delivering excellent customer service and creating a seamless digital-first customer experience. It’s still very early days but the fog is beginning to lift. Thanks for the boost Marita!

"I was technically homeless at the time. I was sleeping on my buddy's couch. I had declined $250,000/ year at McKinsey... I had no idea what I was doing." Now, Blake has $150M in ARR, growing 30% per year, with 80% gross margins. He's raised $400M and his startup ID.me is worth over $1B. This is the story of how pivoted for a Groupon-like model to an identity verification platform. Blake Hall talks about how he raised the initial round, closed the first few enterprise contracts, and why he thinks finding product-market fit is more of a science than most founders think. After his pivot, ID.me doubled its user base every year. Now, over 40% of Americans have an ID.me account. Listen to the full episode here:

Thanks The Product Market Fit Show for hosting Blake Hall, ID.me's CEO and Founder, on their podcast to discuss ID.me's vision for consumer-centric identity and the company's journey to where it is today. "A big part of our mission is leveling the playing field for communities that deserve help the most, like low-income communities who are often underrepresented in credit bureaus," Blake says. "Our brand partners really brought into this vision of consumer-centric identity, which is not just about how we all use our wallets, but also about helping underserved communities access government services."
