SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Jack Dorsey's Last Boss Tells True Story in Episode 191 with Tony Stubblebine

People like I said, people are way more successful.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Jack Dorsey's Last Boss Tells True Story in Episode 191 with Tony Stubblebine

And I'd always thought, sort of thought we would end up in coaching anyways.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And so, you know, that just, that spun us around and we realized like, this is where our real business is.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

It's going to be in coaching.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And so a couple of months later, January 1st of 2015, we relaunched as Coach.me as a marketplace for coaching.

But the thing though, that's

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Jack Dorsey's Last Boss Tells True Story in Episode 191 with Tony Stubblebine

different and harder and kind of sort of structurally different than any other marketplace is we felt like we also needed to invent the product that was being sold in that marketplace because traditional coaching is just really, it had never been brought online and it has all sorts of problems because of that.

It's a way too expensive.

You have no idea who's a good coach because you can't track any of the outcomes.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

You,

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Jack Dorsey's Last Boss Tells True Story in Episode 191 with Tony Stubblebine

Yeah, so we take a cut of the coaching.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Jack Dorsey's Last Boss Tells True Story in Episode 191 with Tony Stubblebine

All the coaching happens through our online tools.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And we take, if we bring the client and we bring a ton of the clients, we take 50%.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And then if they bring the client, they take somewhere between 70 and 90%.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Jack Dorsey's Last Boss Tells True Story in Episode 191 with Tony Stubblebine

Yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So just...

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Jack Dorsey's Last Boss Tells True Story in Episode 191 with Tony Stubblebine

you could call it a referral bonus or an affiliate system that, uh, that if the coaches are just want to use our online tools to do online coaching, because it's really a new branch of coaching that you have this sort of sports coaching and you have, um, you know, traditional life or professional coaching that looks almost like therapy, you know, where you sit down with the person or you Skype with the person.

Our coaching is, um,

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

is message based.

And so I would call it digital coaching.
