Scaling isn’t just about growth—it’s about evolving leadership, culture, and strategy at every stage. This podcast conversation with Henry Ward, co-founder & CEO of Carta, stood out to us for its honest take on what it really takes to scale. In the interview, Henry dives into: — The real definition of product-market fit (and why revenue can be misleading for early companies) — Hiring the right team: Missionaries vs. mercenaries and preserving culture — The CEO’s evolution: From building a product to building a system — Inputs vs. outputs: Why focusing on the right leading indicators matters —?Transparency in leadership: When (and when not) to share, including the pros and cons of a Slack channel called “Henry.” If you're interested in company building, you might find this episode as insightful as we did. ?? https://lnkd.in/erPU_jBH
关于我们
Motley Fool Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund powered by The Motley Fool's brand, investing approach, and communities. We combine the best of both worlds: Like a traditional venture capital fund, we have outside limited partners, prioritize investor returns, and make decisions independently. However, like a corporate VC, we have the backing of a successful operating company with access to resources that most VCs can only dream of.

Onboard in minutes then set & forget — taxes are filed on time, timely and accurate financial reporting is delivered, and cash back tax credits from the IRS (up to $500k per year) are claimed and received. Over 1,000 startups trust us to put their bookkeeping, taxes, and tax credits on autopilot and starting today any startup can try Fondo for $1: tryfondo.com/1 We are very grateful for our supporters in this round.
