Miguel Armaza interviews Mike Seckler, CEO of Justworks, one of the largest platforms for SMBs providing HR, Tax, and payroll services in the US and Internationally.
Founded in 2012 in NYC, Justworks recently crossed $300 million in annual revenue and is backed by some of the best NY-based VCs, including Bain Capital Ventures, FirstMark, Thrive Capital, Union Square Ventures, Index, and Redpoint.
We recorded this conversation live in the heart of NYC at Barclays Rise, as part of New York Fintech Week. Mike was outstanding and he delighted a room full of 100 fintech entrepreneurs and builders. I’m sure you’ll be delighted as well.
We discuss:

• The secret to success of great entrepreneurs
• How to run a functional board of directors
• The power of focusing on one product for a long time
• Successfully managing a pre and post-merger integration
• Why doing something great requires tons of pressure… and a lot more!
