#71 - Karm Sumal, CEO and Co-Founder of Daily Hive. Accountant to National Digital Media Entrepreneur.
Join in for a conversation with Karm Sumal, CEO and Co-Founder of Daily Hive. DailyHive is a national news media company that started out in Vancouver as VancityBuzz and now has offices in Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto. As a site that started in 2008 amid a competitive industry with many regional and national giants it garners as much as 17M page views a month. Not too shabby for supporting a country of 30M. Karm did not dream of owning a digital media company. Born to immigrants in the East side of Vancouver, he became a CPA and controller for Blenz Coffee for a stable job. But him and his co-founders felt the Vancouver news media didn’t cater to the Vancouver he saw. The Vancouver that was made up of middle-class immigrants that make the city what it is today. This started the 12-year journey of DailyHive. In our conversation we talk about his early years of starting DailyHive, what learnings he carried over from large corporations to running his own company, the media landscape and the constant ups and downs of operating a national media company.
