FOOD: From 5 - 100 meals a day, working 12 hour days and spending $15k on a website w/ Earlybird cofounder Tim Schmid

“We look like pro cooks these days, [but] the first time we were in the production kitchen we thought we could never make it.” - Tim Schmid   Right after graduating from business school in 2017, Tim called up his two cofounders to join him, and they went live with www.earlybird.ch - a food delivery startup - in December of that year. Starting with 5 bowls of healthy food every evening, they would deliver the bowls to their customers in Zurich in the mornings. Today, Earlybird delivers 100 bowls of healthy lunch and breakfast every single day, to your office and for a lower price than the market has to offer.   You will learn: How Tim went from business studies to a food startup and working in a kitchen How Earlybird got a competitive edge over its competitors How not to build a website for your startup How to launch your website in 2 days How to convince your friends to join you as cofounders   Our favorite quotes:   “You just have to jump in, do it every day, invest time and at the end you’ll be a pro.”   “You have to have the mentality to try and do your best.”   Freelancer platforms to help you build your website: fiverr.com upwork.com freelancer.com   Please give us feedback and improve our podcast by answering our questions: http://bit.ly/nerdentrepreneursfeedback
