Summary

Today we’re talking with Jason Flick, former co-founder and CEO of You.i TV. As a successful serial entrepreneur he has a lot of knowledge to share. Going from the corporate world to his first startup, Jason found some early success. As the space evolved he had to as well, and with the iPhone transforming the space he knew he needed to be a part of it all. As the way people related to technology changed, so did Jason’s business. While looking to help apps everywhere, You.i ultimately took over the TV space and found great success. With an acquisition by AT&T, You.i found themselves on every platform driving the space from behind the scenes. -- The Exit - Presented By Flippa: A 30-minute podcast featuring expert entrepreneurs who have been there and done it. The Exit talks to operators who have bought and sold a business. You’ll learn how they did it, why they did it, and get exposure to the world of exits, a world occupied by a small few, but accessible to many.
