In this episode, Niklas sits down with Matt Holder, the Founder of Loop Golf— a booking marketplace for golf course tee times. With two other startups under his belt and experience building well-known marketplaces like Houzz, Zillow, and Trulia, Matt brings a wealth of experience in both marketplaces and entrepreneurship. He shares insights on turning your marketplace idea into reality and the ongoing journey to find product market fit.
Like many successful marketplaces, the current version of Loop Golf was not the first version. Matt emphasizes the importance of getting started and learning as fast as possible. He advises entrepreneurs to build, launch, and learn quickly, and to be open to iterating and pivoting based on feedback.
Matt also talks about the similarities he’s observed across different marketplaces and the need for transparency and efficiency.
