Today on Found, we’re talking to David Rogier, the CEO and founder of Masterclass, a streaming platform where you can learn from the world’s experts on a variety of topics, from baking to screen writing to developing empathy. Before David launched MasterClass, he worked as a VC. Through his connections there received a $500,000 seed round before he even had an idea for a company. That was nearly a decade ago, and today Dom, Becca and David talk about how he’s built the company since.
They also talked about:

  • How MasterClass was able to land its notable names from the beginning
  • How the company has scaled after a disappointing launch
  • How MasterClass has adapted to its users needs during the pandemic and beyond
