One of Silicon Valleys OG executive coaches who has worked with Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey and 2200 other founders over his 40 year career, distilled the characteristics of successful founders who generate over 10X returns for their investors. Whether you're an investor or someone interviewing at a startup, I think coming up with a list of questions to probe each one of these characteristics is a valuable exercise when it comes to deciding on who you want to work with. Shout out to our Partner Rebecca Price for sharing this with our team.

🚀 Yesterday, I attended an insightful breakfast at Primary Venture Partners, hosted by the incredible Cassie Young & Rebecca Price, on "First Team Thinking"! One key takeaway: Leaders often prioritize supporting their direct reports over their fellow leaders, leading to a celebration of vanity metrics rather than real business results. This resonates with me as I see a significant gap in the market in aligning sales and marketing leadership, sales and customer success collaboration, and product and sales solutions based on customer feedback. For instance, if churn is your #1 issue, it doesn’t matter that marketing thinks they are crushing it with increased qualified leads this month. It’s about cohesive strategies and real impact that drives the larger business results. This is a big focus of my new venture, BOSS Executive Advisory & C-Suite Consulting. I'm dedicated to driving success through B2B GTM strategy, aligning teams, and fostering social selling and thought leadership expertise. Together, we can break down silos and ensure that every team is working towards the same goal: impactful results and sustainable revenue growth. Let’s embrace the First Team mentality, solve big problems for your customers, and drive meaningful growth! 💡💪 #Leadership #TeamAlignment #B2BStrategy #BusinessGrowth #ThoughtLeadership
