Growing Pains
Welcome to “Growing Pains,” the podcast that cuts through the tech hype and gets real about what it takes to “grow up” with Venture and PE backing. Candid conversations, practical solutions, and a lot of “tell it like it is”.
This Podcast prepares you for the changes from new, professional investors. The good the bad and the very ugly.
Guests include CEOs, GTM experts, Operators, and Investors who talk about rapid scaling, changing leadership, ripping apart the tech that got you there, while not missing a beat to keep customers happy, disciplined reporting and forecasting with stories and anecdotes that make it real.
We’ll chat with experts who’ve crossed the scaling chasm and experts in PE and VC who about what they’ve seen post-investment and what they look for based on that experience.
So, if you’re ready for some honest, no-nonsense insights and maybe a chuckle or two, join us!
This is “Growing Pains” by Outforce, subscribe today, and let’s get started.
