Andy Herrera - Co-Founder, VP of Technology
Why did you start the company?
Once meeting Josh in a finance class during our undergraduate years, I realized we both liked to work and play hard. As time went on, we both came to agree that we both love being consumers and so we wanted to create an online consumer ‘experience’ tailored for consumers.
What is a daily thought you have?
Always look at things and ask, ‘how can we make that better?
What did you want to be growing up?
As a kid when people would ask me what I wanted to do in life, I always responded with how I wanted to own my own business, involving computers in some way shape or form. Yet I never knew what that road looked like. Well, I’m here today saying it’s a great feeling!
What do you do on your spare time?
Spare time? hmmm… Research internet trends and snowboard.
What does it mean to be successful?
“To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch …to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!” said Ralph Waldo Emerson.
