Today's guest is Nicholas Hinrichsen, who graduated from Stanford Business School in 2013 and started an online car dealership right after. Together with his co-founder, Chris Coleman, the two entrepreneurs joined the startup accelerator YCombinator in 2014 before raising a total of $10M in Venture capital by 2015. In 2017, the two founders sold their business to Carvana.com.
After exactly 3 years with Carvana and less than five weeks ago, the two left Carvana to start up again: the founders started by creating a website about auto loan refinancing-related questions, then built an auto loan refinance calculator and ultimately founded the company at WithClutch.com.
In this episode we discuss what led him to Stanford to pursue his MBA, where the idea for the first company came from, and what he hopes for with their new venture.
