Sam Jones of OOOOO on His Radical Social Commerce App and the Business of Live Streaming (EP.140)

This week’s Panic guest, Sam Jones, called in all the way from Oxford to chat with me. Sam is a good friend, unbelievable entrepreneur, and co-founder of the social commerce app “OOOOO.” I was lucky enough to be a small investor in the company. To put it simply, OOOOO is basically “Only Fans” meets commerce – enabling live entertainment commerce. While Sam started “OOOOO” only about a year ago, it has seen impressive growth and success. The work Sam is doing is fascinating and he thoughtfully explains it so well on the podcast. In this episode, Sam digs into ecommerce, OOOOO, his company’s growth and retail share model, China & Pinduoduo, his plans for a documentary, the culture and business of live streaming, and more.  Guest - Sam Jones, Co-founder and CEO at OOOOO.com  howardlindzon.com, ooooo.com  Twitter: @howardlindzon, @ooooobloke, @knutjensen  linkedin.com/in/sam-jones-0a16533 #fintech #invest #investment #venturecapital #stockmarket #finance
