For the final episode of season 1, I talked to DevRev CEO Dheeraj Pandey and Manish Chandra, founder and CEO of Poshmark, to learn more about the frameworks and processes they've developed to build sustainable companies. Poshmark is a pure consumer play, and DevRev sells enterprise software, but because Dheeraj and Manish are repeat founders who’ve taken startups from Day Zero to IPOs, they were an excellent choice. They shared some of the strategies they’ve developed over time for recruiting, fostering early adopters, driving growth, and transitioning across industries. Manish and Dheeraj also unpacked some of the strategic decisions that propelled their companies forward and spoke openly about the mental and emotional challenges they faced along the way. Fund/Build/Scale is sponsored by Mayfield and Securiti. #entrepreneurship #startups #podcast #poshmark #devrev #siliconvalley #GTM #hiring #operations #product #sales #AI #generativeAI #devops #fashion

Running a startup is virtually impossible. According to Startup Genome, 90% of them fail. 90%. That's insanity. Yet we still plod along. You'd think that after decades of data on startup best practices, we'd have a blueprint at this point. Some people do. I had the distinct pleasure of having the great Dan Hurwitz, as a recent guest on the CRO Spotlight Podcast. Dan shared about his venture: 'How to Un F@$%&k your Startup'. He shared his 8 points that all startups need to work on to make it through the morass and survive. We got into a whole thing about culture and leadership and focus - and the conversation was great. Please take the time to listen. I learned a lot.
