In this episode of Startup50K I interviewed Jake Williams and Lewis Romano, the co-founders of Australia’s third largest jobs board: SpotJobs. Lewis and Jake raised $2.5 million and (as of the recording time) and three years later have created a $9 million company. Within that time, they have grown their user-base by 850,000 users in 3 years. Jake is now 25 and Lewis 27, for young Australian entrepreneurs, that’s a great effort. www.startup50k.com
