#226: Dave Rodenbaugh (part 1)

Play

We’re joined today by Dave Rodenbaugh, a self-funded entrepreneur who has been selling WordPress plugins since 2009. He’s also one half of the Rogue Startups podcast. Dave talks to us today about how he got his start in entrepreneurship, a few hard won lessons in pricing, and some of the challenges of building a business on software that’s licensed under the GPL and can therefore be freely redistributed.
