Knowable Founder Warren Shaeffer: “Vulnerability is the Highest State of Confidence”

It’s always great to talk about startup success stories. But what about those startups that have great potential but are still struggling to get on track and find a path to success? There is still a lot to learn from startups like Knowable, an audio-first learning program that launched in 2020. While Knowable has big goals and strives to make a meaningful impact on the world, it is still in the process of making inroads. Knowable CEO and co-founder Warren Shaeffer spoke with scaleup ally Roland Siebelink on this week’s episode of the Silicon Valley Momentum Podcast. As a veteran founder of multiple startups, Warren had a lot to say about his current company and advice he’d like to pass on to other founders: What he learned about an advertisement-supported business model from his previous startup. Why the best leaders are willing to be vulnerable and admit to their mistakes. What is the difference between selling vitamins and selling painkillers? Why feeding off one another’s energy has created a good partnership between Warren and his co-founder Alex. The importance of establishing relationships with other founders and using their experience to help on your journey. To know more about Knowable, click here.
