Nathan started his first company, Portlight in 2009. Out of frustration of hiring remotely for Portlight, he founded FreeeUp in 2015 with his business partner because they wanted a better way and scrap poor support and unreliability of some existing platforms. Within 4 years, Freeup revenue scaled up from 5k to $12 million in yearly revenue and was recently acquired by the HOTH.
Today, our newly launched company Outsource School teaches entrepreneurs how to hire and scale their business with virtual assistants and will share all the secrets to scale and sell FreeeUp with a completely remote team of VAs.
