Description
Startup advice usually sucks. Founders bragging, vague lessons and little reality.
We built Seeking Growth because you deserve better.
Michael scaled Zipline.io from idea to over $10m VC funding —through 3 PMF pivots, expanding to the USA (and retreating!) and building A-player teams. He shares the raw truth with no fluff.
Zabi is your eyes and ears, the aspiring Snr Leader/Founder - he uncovers the aha-moments to reveal exactly how shit gets done. Product. Sales. Hiring. Mental Models. Even Psychology!
So let’s dive in as we seek personal growth, career growth and growth in a scaleup.
