Episode Content:Hey Chris, Why don't you tell us more about Cambridge Masks and specifically why you need another mask company. What’s more to invent there?Usually when people think of startups, they think of tech, mobile, iot, but not masks. So, gotta ask. Why you decided to work on such unsexy startup of creating masks?I saw that you worked previously for another mask company. I guess it was the trigger for starting Cambridge Masks. What did you improve vs. the previous company?You told me you’ve been to Y Combinator. Was that for Cambridge masks? How was the process like and why you decided to go?How is your startup now different from before joining YC?I saw on your LinkedIn account that you are manufacturing all masks in the UK. the funny thing is that your office is in BJ. it’s usually the other way around. How do you handle the manufacturing costs and competing with manufacturing in China?Any other surprising markets you’ve discovered other than China? A place you didn’t really think would need your masks?Which blogs do you read regularly?Which online tools do you use to manage your company and for what?What’s the best way to get in touch with you?Episode Mentions:FreakonomicsY CombinatorTrello Task ManagementZendeskLinkedInZohoInsightlyDownload and SubscribeDownload this episode: right click on this link and choose "save as"Subscribe to China Business Cast on iTunesOr check out the full list on subscription options Periscope Live broadcasting of the recordings follow @StartupNoodle (open link on mobile)
