The Consumer VC Episode 122 - Eric Doty, CEO of Loupe

On today’s episode I’m joined by Eric Doty, founder/CEO of Loupe. Loupe is building the world’s largest community of sports card collectors.

I didn’t know much about the sports card collecting market before my conversation with Eric. As a new category for both me and the podcast, I learned a lot and think you will as well.

We discuss:

  • What got Eric back into collecting sports cards

  • The insight that led him to founding Loupe

  • How he solved the cold start problem many marketplace businesses had

  • What metric he optimizes for in a transaction buyer/seller business

  • His approach to leadership and what it means to be product driven
