Show Notes Chapter Markers

Peter was the CEO and Co-founder of Swelly which was a social polling app that had over 10 million users at its peak. He is presently a Partner at Gateway Labs - a product studio and is also the Co-Founder of a new Health Tech startup.

In this conversation we talk about Peter’s background, the beginnings of Swelly, why it made sense to integrate Kin into Swelly as a way to monetize, the decision to join the Kin Ecosystem early on, focusing on just building during the Kik Vs. SEC lawsuit and why he’s excited for the future of Kin and those who choose to use it in their apps.
