Today we welcome Meggie Williams to the podcast. Meggie is the founder and CEO of Skiptown, an all-in-one ecosystem for bar, park, and pet care services.

Skiptown started as a dog-walking company named Waggle in 2016. Fast forward to late last year when Skiptown closed a $28M fundraising round to expand the concept around the country. By next year, Skiptown will have launched in Atlanta, Houston, and Denver in addition to the Charlotte location (with more coming).

During our wide-ranging conversation with Meggie, we cover topics including…

  • Losing 95% of revenue during the beginning of COVID
  • Why ‘Riding the Scooter in the Rain’ is an important company value
  • Her process for finding great investors and board members
  • Being a mom and CEO of a fast-growing startup
  • How Charlotte’s entrepreneurial ecosystem has grown over the years

…as well as what’s next for Skiptown in the coming years.

Please enjoy this conversation with Meggie Williams.
