This is the top entrepreneurs podcast where founders share how they started their companies and got

filthy rich or crash and burn. Each episode features revenue numbers, customer counts, and other

insider information that creates business news headlines. We went from a couple hundred thousand dollars to two point seven million.

I had no money when I started the company.

It was a hundred and sixty million dollars which is the size of any IPOs.

We're a bit strapped.

We have like 22,000 customers.

With over five million downloads in a very short amount of time,

major outlets like Inc are calling us the fastest growing business show on iTunes.

I'm your host, Nathan Latka, and here's today's episode.

Hello, everyone.

My guest today is Tripp Adler.

He is an American entrepreneur.

He's the CEO and co-founder of

Scrib, Digital Library and Document Sharing Platform. He grew up in Palo Alto, California, and graduated from

Harvard. He launched Scribd in 2007, and they now have over 80 million monthly readers and

500,000 subscribers. Tripp, are you ready to take us to the top? Sure. All right, good. So for those people

that are not familiar with script or they're not subscribed yet, what does it do and what's your

revenue model? How do you make money? So script's a subscription service for reading. So what you can do

is pay $9 a month and then you can read books, audiobooks, magazines, newspapers, documents on whatever device

you like. So it's all basically funded by our consumers who pay the monthly description fee.

Okay, and just there's that one simple pricing, just nine bucks a month? Yeah, it's really simple.
