Seamus Madden built Dealroom Media into a $1.5 million ARR agency at 19 years old in under 12 months with a team of only 4 people. Before becoming a founder, Shamus started a podcast interviewing Tier 1 talent, including Mark Cuban, and then accidentally got involved in Venture Capital with Blitzscaling Ventures.
