Eric Rea is the co-founder and CEO of Podium. He started the company with Dennis Steele in 2014 after drawing on his experience growing up in his father’s tire shop and later running an iPad accessory business on Shopify while in college. Rea has said that seeing better technology available to his dorm-room business than to his father’s local business led him to focus on software for brick-and-mortar small businesses. He is known for building Podium around that market and leading the company through Y Combinator.
