In this solo episode of Billion Dollar Tech, Brendan breaks down the highlights from his interview with Guy Tytunovich, founder of go to market security company Cheq.ai. Guy founded a unicorn company, and part of this discussion will focus on the unique challenges and considerations of this particular scenario.
Much of the advice is invaluable to all entrepreneurs including the best method of company-wide communication, recognizing a pain point and finding a solution (and not the other way around) and deciding the best time to launch.
Brendan discusses what makes a great leader and why Guy embodies that.
Quotes:
“With Guy, I don’t know him well, I only know him from this conversation. But it felt very authentic and very real. To me, it didn’t feel like a guy who was pandering or just trying to sound good.” ([8:29]-[8:40] | Brendan)
“You can’t rest on what is.” ([11:43]-[11:45] | Brendan)
“You’d rather have a smaller piece of a bigger pie and a team that feels engaged, and that feels appreciated and that loves what you’re doing rather than somebody who is just sort of phoning it in or sees you as another one of the things that they’re working on.” ([14:10]-[14:25] | Brendan)
