Hypergrowth: the early years

Hypergrowth: the early years is a series that examines the path to growth of the most successful tech companies. Through interviews with early employees, we’ll dissect the black box of early growth, so you can better understand the product decisions, channel exploration, and early hires that helped kickstart the growth journey in the early days. Created by Basis Set Ventures, a venture capital fund investing in early-stage technology companies that fundamentally transform the way people work. We believe artificial intelligence delivers core value by improving productivity for all parts of the economy; from factories to offices. Hosted by Sheila Vashee. Art by Vuo Design.
