Chris and Hamish McKenzie started Substack in 2017, after Chris wrote a manifesto on everything wrong with the internet. They’ve connected thousands of writers to more than a million paid subscribers.
Substack is now a global brand, and so popular that we’ve heard folks say “I saw it on a Substack” when referring to a non-substack email newsletter.
They’ve launched >20 major features and iterated on dozens more. Substack got to 7k subscribers in the first few months of the company, and has 3x’d paid subscribers every single year.
Check out this exciting episode to hear how Chris thinks about speed and how Substack ships fast.
