#1396 I enter the ring with Empire Flippers founder Justin Cooke




Startup Stories - Mixergy show

Summary: Today’s guest is Justin Cooke, the founder of a marketplace where people go and buy and sell websites. I spent 25 minutes talking to people in his industry to make sure that he wasn’t just a nice guy who happens to have been a long-term Mixergy listener who is going to take advantage of me. And I got some stuff. I have some things I want to talk to him about, nothing especially shocking, but I want to make sure there isn’t anything underneath that would mean he shouldn’t really be on Mixergy. This interview is going to be about how his company, Empire Flippers, came to be. I also want to know what Justin and his cofounder were doing before, how they failed, and closed up a company. <p><a href="https://mixergy.com/interviews/empire-flippers-with-justin-cooke/"><img src="https://mixergy.com/interviews/empire-flippers-with-justin-cooke/?get-twitter-card=true&amp;" alt="" class="alignnone size-full"></a></p><p>Justin Cooke is the founder of Empire Flippers, a marketplace where people go and buy and sell websites. </p> <strong>Sponsored by</strong><br><p><a href="http://www.toptal.com/mixergy" rel="nofollow">Toptal</a> – If you’re having trouble finding developers, Toptal is a network of elite pre-vetted software developers.
