As a CEO, your role is multifaceted-
1) Hold the vision
2) Recruit and retain the team needed to execute that vision
3) Resource that team with:
a) capital
b) clarity
c) care

Thrilled to share that Pogo has raised $14.8M!

Our goal is simple: to make you more money by unlocking the power of your data.

A woman is bragging to a friend: “Yeah I got the promotion. No, no, it’s not a pay raise. And yeah, my title is still the same. But I have a lot more responsibility now...”
Her voice trails off and the smile slides off her face as realization dawns.

Super cool -- General Magic Movie is now on showtime... My dad was the banker that took them public & the story of the company was a major contributor to my early introduction to tech / interest in it... psyched this doc exists and is sharable now!

💯 So much yes to this. Same for me: leaving the startup I was to go wander around Africa, leaving Facebook to join BitGo, starting my own fund, etc etc.
Trust yourself, but be ready to hustle to make it happen.

Zapier is one of my absolute favorite tech products. Like everyone else in the valley, I would kill to invest in it, but since that isn’t an option for anyone at least we can all read about it in this great profile!
