On the show today we have our first guest who has taken a company public. Mike Evans founded GrubHub in his spare bedroom and grew it into a multi-billion-dollar household name. Today’s case study looks at how GrubHub grew their revenue by 300% in one week after switching from a subscription based model to a transactional model, and how you can evaluate which revenue model would create more value in your own business and attract repeat customers.

Since leaving GrubHub post-IPO in 2014, Mike more recently founded Fixer.com, an on-demand handyperson B-corp that trains its W-2 employees from scratch. For more insights from Mike, order his book, Hangry, releasing this November on Audible and wherever books are sold.
