    Thumbtack: Marco Zappacosta, Co-Founder & CEO

    Marco Zappacosta built Thumbtack, the marketplace for home services, over the last 15 years. In 2021 Thumbtack had a $3.2 billion valuation and the highest number of professional listings, followed by Yelp. 

    In this episode, we dive into how Marco’s background from having entrepreneurial parents - his father co-founded Logitech nonetheless - and running his startup basically from straight out of college to today has shaped the Thumbtack brand. 

    As you can imagine, many insights are awaiting you in this inspiring conversation.
