Clearscope
Why watch
Huang built Clearscope so content teams can score and improve pages against what search engines already reward, without SEO folklore.
Bernard Huang started Clearscope, the SEO content platform, with his college friend Kevin Su, according to Demand Curve.
Buying a Barbecue Franchise With Poker Winnings
As an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin, Huang earned $120,000 playing online poker and used it to buy a Dickey's Barbecue Pit franchise with friends. After teaching himself to code, he joined 42Floors, a Y Combinator company, as employee #16 with the title "Growth Hacker," and learned SEO there.
Pivoting GameRunners Into Mushi Labs
He left to build GameRunners with Su. In early 2015, with their bank accounts running dry in San Francisco, California, they pivoted to an SEO consultancy called Mushi Labs. According to Niche Pursuits, they launched Clearscope around 2016 and bootstrapped it.
