Arjun Mahadevan is the CEO & Founder of doola, a Business-in-a-Box™ for E-Commerce—built for Shopify and Amazon sellers to launch their U.S. business with an LLC and all required paperwork, then scale with bookkeeping, tax filings, and analytics—all in one platform.
Arjun’s Dropbox product management background mixed with his own challenges of trying to start a business helped him launch doola, and he discussed what really goes into running this type of business.
They are originally a YC backed startup that has raised 13M to date, and in less than 5 years has grown to an 8 figure run rate, a team of 60 people, over 10,000 customers, and generating profitable cash flow.
This guy’s energy is contagious, and this conversation was a lot of fun.

I’m Shaun Sharabi, owner of Interlock Ventures — my personal holdco where I solve problems through critical thinking and strategic connections. I work with:
1. Founders & operators facing constraints in their business
2. Entrepreneurs seeking clarity on how to grow their net worth and align it with fulfillment
I built my first business in 2.5 years to 149M in Revenue, and over 500 Employees. I've gone through countless different phases of business including the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I started this show to unpack the real inflection points that shaped people & their business: the constraints, tough decisions, and pivotal relationships that unlocked growth, profit, or clarity. I look to uncover what is often overlooked from the outside.
My hope is by sharing these conversations, I can positively influence you to lead a life of curiosity, and be as giving first minded as possible.
