13. The Journey From A Funded To Bootstrapped Tech Company The Sendible Insider Podcast

Most tech startups want to grow as quickly as possible. They raise capital and instead of working to make their customers successful, they work to make their investors successful. At Sendible, we've taken no outside funding and have grown at our own pace. By doing that, we've been able to keep that startup culture alive. 

But, Gavin wanted to find out what it's like working for a larger, VC-funded company. 

So, he chatted to Sendible's Anneliese Sabitzer, whose previous role was with a much larger, VC-backed tech company, to find out how it's different. 

In this episode, we talk about:


The cultural differences between a self-funded vs venture capital-backed tech company
The pros and cons of working in both types of company and the impact on career growth
Gavin's experience having worked in a 2,500 person company in South Africa
How to have shorter meetings with the "Seek feedback, not consensus" principle
And much, much more...
