Nathan Chan is the CEO and publisher of Foundr Magazine, a digital magazine for young, aspiring and novice stage entrepreneurs. He has had the pleasure of interviewing rock stars and business leaders to find out what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur.

Nathan launched Foundr in March 2013 from his bedroom and in a small period of time it has become a top 10 ranked ‘Business & Investing Magazine’ on the app store.

Nathan holds a Master of Business from Victoria University and is widely respected as one of the brightest minds of his generation. An expert at entrepreneurship, he started Foundr – a global media and education company that reaches out to millions of people across the world. In the last seven years, Nathan has interviewed some of the most successful entrepreneurs of our time such as Sir Richard Branson, Gary Vaynerchuk, Seth Godin, Arianna Huffington, Mark Cuban, and Tim Ferriss.

Looking for ways to grow Foundr, Nathan started an Instagram channel for his magazine. Initially he wasn’t focused on it, however he still managed to accrue 500 followers. It came as a surprise when one day after promoting the magazine via his small Instagram channel he noticed an uptake in magazine subscriptions. He took it as a sign and turned his attention to an aggressive Instagram marketing campaign. Things went even better than expected topping 100,000 followers within six months, and just one and half years later over 500,000 followers. Foundr now has almost 3 million followers.

Thanks to his now significant Instagram following Nathan adds thousands of subscribers a week to his email list. He also runs a content strategy on the Foundr Blog and releases the interviews he does for the magazine as a Foundr Podcast.
