A Day at Dwolla: Building a Company and Disrupting an Industry

At Dwolla we are building a payment network to disrupt the current industry and put more money back in the local, national and global economy by offering real-time and transparent payments.

In order to build such a disruptive company in a risk-averse town, we learn on the go and grow from mistakes. 

• How we inspire passion in employees and customers
• How we validate our growth through successes and failures
• Why we build products, break them and fix them on a daily basis
• How we train what hasn’t been done before
