Founder Fridays: Build Fast, Anywhere
Welcome to Founder Fridays - a Notion founder series - where we sit down with builders who’ve been in the trenches to talk shop - product, design, and the real lessons no one puts on a slide deck. In this episode, Benjamin Paik, Co-founder of Afternoon.co (YC F24), joins Hilary Shirazi, Notion’s Head of Corp Dev, to share how he left Brex to tackle one of the least glamorous but most painful parts of startup life - back-office chaos. From building in a regulated space to leveraging AI for speed and scale, Ben breaks down what it takes to turn pain into product; and why most founders give up too soon.
