I tweet about b2b SaaS sales, marketing, & GTM at software companies | former @GlasswingVC, Co-founder at @GetReprise, early @InsightSquared, VP at @Chorus_Ai
In 2015, I filmed an early episode of #StartupsUnedited with @Mazzeo(formerly Coatue, Lowercase).
Rewatching it now, the advice feels even more relevant in today’s startup market.
The early days of building a startup are really, really hard.
Probably one of the hardest things I've ever done.
But here's the thing people don't talk about enough:
Even the later years don't get that much easier.
You add new products.
Your customer-base grows.
Your success attracts new competitors.
You get a once-in-a-lifetime, "this changes everything" tech shift like A.I. that comes around.
If you're going to do a startup, you have to love the game, not the grandiose idea that once you've "made it", you can sit on the beach and sip margaritas.
@HubSpot is in year 18 right now. We've had some modest success, but dealing with new, even bigger challenges.
Scaling a company is fun, as long as you think furiously working to stay relevant is fun. 😅
In five years, AI-driven disruption may come more from startups optimizing operations than products. Large companies seem advanced but often aren’t. A startup can improve inbound lead response in days; a big company takes months. Most founders miss this edge. AI-native orgs may be the real disruptors.
