    Peter Beck: How one CEO transformed his fascination with space into a billion-dollar rocket company

    Many companies claim they’re a rocketship—but few mean it literally. As a young child growing up in New Zealand, Peter Beck, CEO of Rocket Lab, spent a lot of time stargazing. His fascination in space inspired a passion-driven career of building a billion-dollar rocket company. Today, Rocket Lab touts the highest launch success rate of any rocket company in history—and was the first private company in the southern hemisphere to go to space. In this conversation, he shares founder lessons on how to build an unlikely business, driven by passion.Listen to all the Wish I Knew episodes: https://www.bvp.com/wish-i-knew

    Daniel Dines is the co-founder and CEO of UiPath, a leading provider of enterprise automation software. Dines started UiPath in 2005 with the goal of building a solution that could help humans reduce the time and stress that come from menial, administrative business tasks. Today, Dines’ vision is to make software robots, powered by computer vision and AI, as common as PCs in the workplace. He not only graduated from the Cloud 100 list in 2021, but also did so with record-breaking success in its most recent IPO in April. UiPath raised $2 billion of venture capital on their way to a blockbuster IPO and today trades well above $30 billion in the public markets. In this episode, Daniel talks about the early days of being a developer, the challenges and opportunities of starting a business in Bucharest, Romania, and his unique way of leading and managing his own mindset in order to drive success for UiPath with 3,000 employees around the globe.  Join us for The Cloud 100 - RSVP before August 10, 2021! https://thecloud100.com And to hear more from Cloud Giants go to https://www.bvp.com/atlas/cloud-giants
