ICYMI ⚡ Our Founder and CEO, Max Levchin, recently joined The Founder Hour to discuss the entrepreneurial journey that led him to Affirm. Max touched on learning to code (on paper!), his front row seat to the early days of the internet at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and also offered practical advice for entrepreneurs and founders. Some highlights from Max include: ✍️ On the top advice when starting a business: Make sure it's hard because those are the important ones, that it's valuable so you're not wasting your time, and that it's fun, so you'd enjoy solving the problem for a very long time. 💡 On what led him to Affirm: The more I learned about credit, the more incensed I became about how completely archaic and unfair the whole thing is. I thought this isn’t just an opportunity to build a better score, it's an opportunity to build better credit. 🌎 On how he thinks about money: My primary relationship is asking the question “How can I maximize access to capital to build something that's truly interesting and impactful?” Listen to the full episode here: https://bit.ly/3YCsHI9
