Alexis Ohanian on Getting Traction

 

Alexis Ohanian is a co-founder of reddit, a social news site that was in the first class of Paul Graham's Y Combinator, quickly became successful, and was acquired by Conde Nast/Wired. Alexis tells this story and talks about the role of the non-programming co-founder in getting traction as well as the role of luck.

This interview is ~40min. If you just want the audio, use the mp3 version. You can also get the video on your iPod/iPhone via iTunes.
