Sean Byrnes is the founder and ex-CEO of Flurry – a mobile analytics company that lives inside apps on billions of devices and as a result has the best understanding of mobile consumer behaviour. Having held 90% of the market share, Flurry represented “mobile strategy in a box” for Yahoo during its acquisition in 2014.  On this episode of the Startup Exits Podcast, we chat with Sean about: • Preparing for a paradigm shift. • Pivoting into a smartphone era. • Finding a real, painful problem to solve. • Going against Steve Jobs. • Signs of a product-market-fit. • Diversifying your customer acquisition strategy. • Competing in an early market that’s exploding. • Data privacy in 2019. • Interpreting data for startups. • Pros and cons of being a first-time founder. • Is fear of failure a motivator or paranoia? • Factors that influence acquisitions. Sean now runs Outlier.ai – an automated business analysis platform that helps companies interpret their data to find hidden opportunities and problems. Startup Exits is brought to you by StartupSoft.
