In the spirit of ‘building out loud’ 🔨 - In recent weeks I’ve been working on an interview series. I know… “ANOTHER startup podcast” 🤦 but I promise to make this one a bit different 😂
💡 Concept: Seasoned CEO's coaching early founders - Q&A to share practical tactics with teams at the pre-seed and seed stage
📊 Format: Short 15-20 minute convos with punchy rapid fire questions. Emphasis on getting a data dump on the day-to-day (no startup metaphysics allowed!). Lots of recurring themes and questions that we can eventually build a dataset on.
Massive thanks to Adam Keating, co-founder and CEO of CoLab, for helping with the MVP episode (complete with janky editing and so-so audio).
Highlights that Adam touches on:
+ CoLab recently closed a series B led by one of the best funds in the world 💰
+ How/when he knew CoLab had found PMF+ Taking 15-20 customer calls every week, even today
+ His report structure for 13 direct reports organized across 3 domains
+ Choosing not to focus on revenue in the early days of CoLab
Let me know what ya think!
Ps. I’ll be hosting a monthly Q&A call for any founder who wants to chat - First one is NOV 1. Link to signup is in the show notes. Virtual coffee and cake will be served.
Pps. Shout out to Mohannad El-Barachi who suffered through my failed recording of the MMVP edition. The audio couldn’t be salvaged so we’ll need to re-take soon :)
