Bootstrap or Raise: Lessons from a Founder who did Both with Arkadiumsaastr
As Silicon Valley entrepreneurs continue to launch their startups with VC funding to the tune of $15 billion in 2018, some founders are beginning to question the go big or go home model in which 90% fail or cannot justify the investments. What if disruptive companies held on to their autonomous owner’s mindset, opting for a make-money approach instead of a raise-money approach? In this session, learn how and why Arkadium’s founders decided to buy back the company from its investors in 2018. As the VC industry is poised for another record year, Co-Founder & CEO Jessica Rovello shares her philosophy that tech companies should keep their eyes on the long-term prize, leaning towards a more purpose-driven, evergreen enterprise that values its people and its independence.
9 Steps to Repeatable, Scalable, & Profitable GrowthDavid Skok
In this slide deck, David Skok talks through his 9 step process for B2B startups to get through product/market fit, and to then find a repeatable, scalable, and profitable growth process.
In David's experience some of the most fatal and expensive mistakes founders make is trying to skip steps. Understanding this roadmap will save you countless hours and potentially millions of wasted dollars.
Choosing your technology stack is one of many decisions you’ll have to make when creating a company from scratch. Along with this, you’ll need to figure out who you should found a company with, who you should take money from, what the company culture should be, management processes, and who to hire when. Joe will be covering basic technology stack choices (cloud v. hosted, frameworks, etc.) as well as other critical decisions one faces when starting a startup.
It is a given that we will all exit our business at some point - willingly or not! - and it is never to soon to start planning that exit.

Zero to 100 - Part 2: Building a Repeatable, Scalable Growth ProcessDavid Skok
Zero to 100 is a learning program from David Skok. It is a detailed instruction manual for how to take your startup from zero to $100m, with a particular focus on the area of building a go-to-market machine. So many of today’s founders come from a product or technical background, and have never been involved with sales and marketing. Right after starting their venture, they are hit with the huge problem of how to build their go-to-market organization and processes. It breaks the journey down into 9 steps, and explains why it is crucial not to skip steps in this journey in the rush to get ahead. The major emphasis of the course focuses on building a repeatable, scalable and profitable growth machine. Once you have that in place, you are ready to hit the gas and scale like crazy.

How Startups Can Build a Recruiting MachineDavid Skok
Something important has changed in the recruiting process: the best people are almost never on the market, and you have to develop recruiting processes to find and sell passive candidates. In many cases, it will take months or years of relationship building with these candidates to find the right moment when they are open to considering a change. Closing them takes greater selling efforts than in the past due to the intense competition over the good candidates. This leads me to believe that there is now a third crucial startup skill that needs to be developed: recruiting.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Dave Kellogg at SaaStr Annual 2019: Five Questions CEOs Struggle With
1. 5 Questions CEOs Struggle With
(and some thoughts on how to answer them)
Dave Kellogg
Former CEO, Host Analytics
Author, Kellblog (www.kellblog.com)
@kellblog
2. Who Is This Guy?
• 2x CEO with 10 years experience in $0 to $100M range
• Host Analytics, MarkLogic
• 2x CMO with 10 years experience in the $10M to $1B range
• Business Objects, Versant
• Independent board director
• Alation, Nuxeo, Granular (sold), Aster Data (sold)
• Early/mid-stage advisor and/or investor
• e.g., GainSight, Tableau, MongoDB, Floqast
• Started as first-line technical support rep at Ingres
3. 5 Questions CEOs Struggle With
1. When do I next raise money?
2. Do I have the right team?
3. How can I better manage the board?
4. Should I worry about competitors?
5. Are we focused enough?
4. 1. When Do I Next Raise Money?
Only-kind-of-glib answer
• When? Now.
• How much? As much as you can.
• From whom? The best VCs who’ll fund you.
5. Thoughts on Money-Raising
When?
• About 2-year cycles
• As long as you need to ensure the next round is an up-round
How much?
• Financial model and scenarios are critical
• To go 2 years, even in your downside scenario
Just because you raise it doesn’t mean you need to spend it
• Trigger spend on milestones, not timelines
Can you afford not to fight the arms race?
• King-maker world = the better the category the bigger the problem
6. 2. Do I Have The Right Team?
Lorden’s Law
• Does each individual bring or take energy?
Kellogg’s Law
• Do you look forward to meeting with them?
Machiavelli’s Principle
• Do they work well together?
• Warring Princes = Weak King
Delivery track record
• Are they delivering results or explanations?
7. Deeper Thoughts On The Right Team
How often do your direct reports really challenge you?
• Challenging vs. simply irritating direct reports
Do you have “sell-by dates” for people in current role?
• Without upgrading <x>, probably need to replace by <y>
Do you have a mix of veterans and up-and-comers?
• Are your really hiring people better than you?
What is the board’s perception?
• “Sarah brings on A players” vs. “Sarah hires people she feels
comfortable with.”
8. 3. How Can I Better Manage The Board?
Universal desire among directors to “add value”
• It’s easy to be pattern-matched to death
The more financial, the more they care about two things
• Executive team and numbers
Make board meetings a board meeting topic
• What do you want? Who does it best? Can I speak to them?
• Assume slides read or not-read before meeting?
• Inspect the e-staff at board meetings?
Coach the e-staff to have the right attitude
• Chance to shine vs. meeting to survive
9. Advanced Board Management
Get them working for you!
• Who knows an exec at our top 15 this-quarter prospects?
• Who went to GSB with board members at these accounts?
• Who has a company with an amazing metrics-driven CFO?
• Who wants to make a small committee with me focused on
<key concern topic>?
• Who wants to help me get executive comp done and
approved on time? (Comp Committee, reframed.)
10. 4. Should I Worry About Competitors?
Yes, they are trying to kill you
• “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the
result of 100 battles.” – Sun Tzu, The Art of War
No, leaders must blaze their own trail
• “Never lead from a position of fear.” – Benioff-ish, Zen-ish
WARNING: PROVERB CONFLICT!!
11. Thoughts on Driven-ness
Vision-driven vs. competitor-driven vs. customer-driven
• Avoid this either/or mindset!
You need to
• Speak like you’re vision-driven
• Create a culture that’s customer-driven
• Make strategy and set goals like you’re competitor-driven (but
don’t talk about it too much)
Oracle refused to recognize Ingres as a competitor
• Yet stack of Ingres competitive docs was 3x deeper
12. 5. Are We Focused Enough? (Probably Not.)
“Phenomenal cosmic power! Itty, bitty living space.”
-- The Genie in Aladdin
“Phenomenal cosmic vision! Itty, bitty market focus.”
-- Geoffrey Moore on strategy (paraphrased)
Examples
• From Documentum to Amazon to Facebook
Strategy != vision
• Among other reasons, strategy is ordered
13. 6. Are We Winning? (Bonus Question!)
The “dead moose” question for you and your board
• If strategy is the plan to win, then what is winning?
Easily provokes a great board discussion
• Best done 1-1 then in the group session
So many different answers when people speak honestly
• Find out what they are!
Incredibly important factor in employee retention
• People want to work at a firm that’s winning
14. Conclusions
Everyone ponders these questions
• In a way they define the startup CEO job
Ponder them, too.
• With your board, advisors, industry watchers, mentors, …
“Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the
right things.” -- Peter Drucker
15. Citations and References
Social Capital: Interim 2018 Summer Letter
• Speaks to changes in venture capital, King-making and such. Superb.
Kellblog:
• Sales is from Mars and Engineering is from Venus
• Veterans vs. Up and Comers in Startups
• Challenging vs. Simply Difficult Direct Reports
• I Don’t Want to Talk to You Any More
• A Note to the CEO, Drive the Board of Directors
• The Question that CEOs Too Often Don’t Discuss with the Board

• Do not pass “go” without reading this classic
Robert Burgelman: Strategy as Destiny
• Introduces the idea of strategy as “the plan to win”
