About this episode
Matt Uhler sits down with Mike Grossman, author of Failure Is an Option and a veteran CEO of six venture-funded companies. Mike explains how two failed attempts to take a company public led to an acquisition worth meaningfully more than the IPO. He covers why you should focus on inputs instead of outcomes and the danger of chasing adjacent opportunities. He also explains when it's worth defying your board, why spending discipline matters, and how a fully remote team of 300+ changed his view on recruiting.
