Our team loved working with Amy! 💪🏻 She really knew her stuff.
Replying to @techincolorcast
3/ Amy's technical background helped her team launch the OfficeTogether MVP in just four weeks. B/c of this background, she could: - iterate quickly, knowing what's easy vs. hard to build - quickly build up the eng team - fundraise and recruit talent

5/ On balancing professional and personal life, Amy emphasizes the importance of taking time for yourself (for her, on weekends!) It helps her be her best self on Monday, and reiterates that there is more to life than your work, and our personal lives are just as important.

4/ Getting the first 5 customers can be hard. The biggest challenge in building Dover as CTO, though, was getting from that initial traction to a scalable and generalizable platform. Sometimes that means saying “No” to what a customer wants due to what the general market needs.

5/ Hiring a diverse team often requires a larger focus on skills rather than (sometimes arbitrary) credentials. A skills-based hiring process allows you to reach those candidates outside the traditional pool based on colleges or past work experience.

Episode out now with the brilliant, witty, and entrepreneurial Jade Huang, founder and CEO at @Style_Sage! Listen at spoti.fi/3cdNMQR for her story of building a fashion data analytics company after learning tech on her own along her design chops. An incredible journey!

4/ Jade says another distinction btw B2B and B2C is that the former has much longer sales cycles. Enterprise software sales cycles are 6-9 months from the initial touchpoint, not including efforts made to raise awareness of the business so the targeted audience is receptive.

5/ "Hiring and retaining a team is the hardest part of building any company." In building StyleSage, Jade grew in effectively selling the product and convincing people who believe in mission to join. Some teams, e.g. sales, are also generally regarded as hard to recruit for.
