Mint’s Aaron Patzer : Why Mint is Source Of All Wealth In the World To Him

“..software is perhaps the ultimate building material: it springs from pure thought and is intrinsically malleable, yet it can be made manifest in our hardware systems, limited only by our vision ..” – Grady Booch

Mint.com is an idea about 3 years back. Now its a 170M business (with projections running in Billions of dollars in next few years) that helps millions of people save money and organize their finances.

There is no doubt, it would be every aspiring entrepreneur’s dream to convert their idea into a multi million dollar business. If you are one of those, this 22 minute talk by Aaron Patzer, CEO of Mint.com is a must watch. There are some great tips on mechanics but also quite an invaluable advice on the most important aspect of any business, managing finances.

Towards the end of the presentation, Aaron talks about what building Mint.com really meant to him (along with tons of money that came along) that can not be taken away even if Mint.com had failed. And why building Mint.com is the source of all wealth in the world to him and his team.  Watch for yourself.
