Aaron Bailey is the CEO & co-founder of Builtfirst, a startup building cloud marketplace platform. Aaron’s company streamlines creation of community-based marketplaces and modernizes how SaaS and services are discovered and purchased.

Aaron talked about his background, the time he spent as head of global partnerships at 500 Startups, and how that influenced his decision to start his own company, Builtfirst.

Aaron shared how the product has changed to meet the needs of users, shifting from a focus on accelerators and VC funds to a focus on anyone who wants to recommend trusted vendors to their online communities.
