Seamus Madden built Dealroom Media into a $1.5 million ARR agency at 19 years old in under 12 months with a team of only 4 people. Before becoming a founder, Shamus started a podcast interviewing Tier 1 talent, including Mark Cuban, and then accidentally got involved in Venture Capital with Blitzscaling Ventures.
We discuss Seamus' journey, including bunking off school, failing his final exams, the hustle mentality founders must have to succeed, the differences between the US and Europe, and his biggest takeaways.
