Many entrepreneurs start out with a side project. Ken Banks had a simple idea for a summer project he thought might help a few people in remote parts of the world communicate faster and better, using just cheap mobile phones and software that could run on any PC. But when Frontline SMS was used to monitor elections, it made the headlines and before he knew it, Ken had customers in 190 countries.

In this episode of Startup Stories Adam interviews Harry Hugo from The Goat Agency. https://goatagency.com/

For most people, being part of a well-funded startup before you’re 20 is living the dream. But Harry Hugo wanted to use what he’d learned to found a new kind of marketing agency, reinventing word of mouth for the 21st century. So he and his two cofounders set up the Goat Agency, and started to win big clients by making promises backed by a guarantee – if we don’t hit our targets, you don’t pay.

today in Startup Stories with Adam Callow you’ll hear how Harry’s simple idea, “What if we're just the agency that does what we say what we can do?” has become a high-growth business that keeps on learning and experimenting every day.
