Ep 26: Founding Story of LivePerson, Inc. | Rob LoCascio
11/29/21 • 60 min
On this live episode, Michael Marra interviewed Rob LoCascio, the Founder & CEO of LivePerson Inc. (LSPN).
As one of the longest-running Tech Founders in the world, he had an incredible founding story to share with us.
His first company flamed out. Ended up sleeping on a couch inside a t-shirt shop and eating ramen while he built Live Person because he couldn't afford an apartment. He then grew that into a publicly-traded $4 Billion company that survived the dot com boom, 2007 market crash, covid etc. He's had to constantly pivot, reinvent himself and his company to survive and succeed.
