From GitHub TV to Rewatch

Founders Talk: Startups, CEOs, Leadership

Show Notes

Connor Sears, founder and CEO of Rewatch, joins Adam to share the journey of creating Rewatch. What began inside of GitHub to help them thrive and connect is now available to every product team on the planet. Rewatch lets teams save, manage, and search all their video content so they can collaborate async and with greater flexibility. We talk about where the tool's inspiration came from (spoiler alert, inside GitHub it was called GitHub TV which you'll hear during the show), how teams leverage video to reduce the constraints of communication, how Connor and his co-founder knew they had product-fit and how they grew the team and product, and of course the flip side of that — we talk about some of Connor's failures along the way, and knowing when it's the right time to take a big swing.
