My guest today is Kaarel Kotkas, Founder & CEO of Veriff. Kaarel is a 25-year-old Estonian entrepreneur, whose online identity verification start-up Veriff is set to be the next tech ‘unicorn’ or billion-dollar company coming out of Estonia. Today’s short 30-minute podcast is jampacked with so much wisdom - like how they were able to raise money in less than a month, why YCombinator took them to United States, and some of the early foundations he laid with an obsession over his first few customers, having a no-compromise hiring approach and an emotional belief in a big mission. Fascinating to hear and so inspiring!
