About this Podcast:
Join us as we learn how successful startups were really built, from the people who built them.We know firsthand how much successful company building is a team sport. The founders, early employees, and first investors work together to lay the foundation for the business. In the early days chaos reigns, processes and systems are non-existent, and bold moves are required daily. It’s unglamorous. It’s blocking and tackling. It’s not for the faint of heart. Hear stories, lessons, and the 'what not to dos' from the early employees, founders, and investors from startups you know.
