In the early 2000's, eBay was in direct competition with Amazon, but they had very different methodologies when approaching the market. This episode dives into some of the mistakes eBay made in this time where they caught themselves focusing on the wrong metrics and the wrong side of the market. These mistakes ultimately led to the huge differences in the trajectory of where these companies are today. The guys from Rocketship talk with Ben Foster, the CPO at GoCanvas, about his time at eBay from 2001-2005 where he led the "findings" team internally. This episode is from Season 8 of this podcast, which homed in on product failures. You can get more Rocketship.fm here or wherever you listen to podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.
