No alliances. No cliques. No toxicity. Full stop. On stage at SXSW, Buddy Media co-founder Kass Lazerow shares her uncompromising commitment to fostering a culture of kindness in the organizations she’s led. Even in the case of fully remote companies —where many employees feel disconnected from one another and the company culture at large — Kass says that leading with transparency and a willingness to celebrate small wins can bring people together. How do you lead with kindness and create the team atmosphere you need to thrive? #SXSW

If you’re incredibly fortunate, you get to work with people like Kass Lazerow & Michael Lazerow (aka Kass & Mike). If you’re insanely fortunate, you get to sit on a stage with them at SXSW and discuss they’re mind-blowing journey as wildly successful serial founders and world class investors while being among the very top visionaries, operators, marketers, culture creators, team builders, Americans, Washington Capitals fans, parents, shit shovelers, and humans imaginable. You’re going to love this one. Links in comments.

Learning doesn’t always happen in a classroom — sometimes, it’s at a borrowed desk in a friend’s office. Before founding Vanta, Christina Cacioppo didn’t take the traditional route to learning to code. Instead of applying to a formal program, she built her own structure by showing up every day, working through tutorials, and surrounding herself with engineers. As she tells Jeff Berman, just being in that environment helped accelerate her learning. Consistency, structure, and the right surroundings can be just as powerful as a traditional education.

Find a problem before you build. This is one of the key lessons Christina Cacioppo learned on her start-up journey. Instead of diving straight into building, she spent time talking to people, uncovering real pain points — until she found one worth solving. That insight led to Vanta, the B2B SaaS company now valued at nearly $2.5 billion. In today’s edition of?Scale Stories, we unpack the key insights Christina shares about founding and scaling Vanta.

Vanta CEO Christina Cacioppo understands that scaling isn’t just about hiring — it’s about knowing when to level up. She shares with Jeff Berman her initial disregard for the idea of forming a leadership team in the early stages. It all felt premature until suddenly, it wasn’t. Her advice? Don’t wait until things feel chaotic. If your startup is growing and the product-market fit is solid, build your leadership team early so you’re not scrambling to catch up later. Building a strong leadership team isn’t just a corporate checkbox — it’s a crucial step for any startup scaling fast. #MastersOfScale #Leadership #Startups #Entrepreneurship #ScalingUp
