(Founder Stories) TripAdvisor?s Kaufer: Crucial Early Decisions Paved The Way For An IPO

TripAdvisor FS1.movEarlier today, TripAdvisor added its name to the list of companies publicly trading on the NASDAQ. After doing so, TripAdvisor's co-founder Stephen Kaufer stopped by TechCrunch for a Founder Stories interview with host, Chris Dixon. TripAdvisor offers user-generated reviews of everything from hotels to restaurants and claims "50 million monthly unique visitors and 20 million members." Healthy numbers now, but dial back a decade and TripAdvisor was gasping for air. Kaufer says 18-months in "we had no clients, we had no revenue and we were running out of money."
