Sharing Failures and Setting Expectations with Sahil Lavingia

In 2011, Sahil left his job as the second employee at Pinterest to work on Gumroad. He wanted to sell an icon he designed in Photoshop to his audience on Twitter and Dribble, but realized there was no easy way for him to do it. Prior to founding Gumroad, Sahil was a designer and engineer at the virtual DJ website, Turntable.
