9:26Now PlayingForbes’ Steve Bertoni sits down with Calendly founder Tope Awotona to talk about the company’s founding, learning from past failures, and insights on what work meetings in a post-covid world may look like.
Tope Awotona is the founder and CEO of scheduling software company Calendly. Awotona, a former salesman for tech firms including EMC (now Dell EMC), founded Calendly out of his own frustration with the back-and-forth emails required to schedule meetings. He bootstrapped Calendly for years before taking on a $350 million investment in 2021 that valued the firm at $3 billion.
