About Eric Freytag
Freytag is deeply interested in A.I, online marketplaces and alternative economies.
His most recent startup, PucaTrade, is an emergent economy founded on the principles of gift-economics, in which real-world objects are traded for status-indicator points online.
Growing a bootstrapped startup from $0 to $35 million in transactions required Freytag to be relentlessly resourceful, highly data-driven and growth-oriented, deeply cognizant of the needs of his users, and communicate empathically across every department in the company.
“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.”
