    Nothing like bringing on your first sales exec as you scale your team. The best ones will almost break your organization pushing needs of customers first, engineering to deliver faster, product to prioritize right features first, marketing to get right value proposition + 1 pager

    The biggest risk when one gets this wrong is depending on ramp time, you are already hiring sales capacity to get fully ramped in middle or end of Q2 to hit numbers for following year, so need to be dialed in on truly understanding the model

    Also important to build in sales rep churn, that can be a killer as losing a fully ramped rep means bringing someone online that has to ramp to full quota capacity which means many experienced leaders overhire capacity, make sure you know how leads are generated and can feed reps

    Someone DM’ed + asked what’s median ramp time; around 6 mos + can be 9-12 mos, depending on model, bottom up/top down, complexity of product, POCs or not; key is to be honest with yourself. you win no awards by budgeting a faster ramp as you'll miss your #

    Most founders know enterprise sales rep math, # of reps*$ quota*% quota hit per rep w/ ramp time (6 mos); what’s often forgotten is that reps need leads, marketing, BDRs, and some of their own pipe; don’t scale without knowing the math on Glengarry leads, you’ll just burn 💰💰💰

    Securing code with Snyk "Open source software powers most of the Fortune 500 apps today. Securing these open source packages during the development cycle becomes paramount, especially w/ the movement towards agile and continuous release cycle"

    Agree 100%. Related advice I often share: “VCs get paid to have good meetings. You should feel good after a meeting with a good VC. That doesn’t mean they’ll invest.”

    👇🏼💯 word of advice, having lots conversations w/ VCs who say they are “interested” does not mean you should or CAN raise $4-5, I’ve seen too many cos ask for that + then have to scale back to $1.5, better to start lower + oversubscribe then have people pass because of raise size
