Wab: I actually cannot imagine a more useful topic right now than dissecting how to build great companies on little capital. A, peter and eric have have just, it's just unbelievable and impressive what they have built on so little capital. And after spending time with eric, i mean, it feels to me like the amount of time that he spends thinking about, oh no, the stock was going crazy and,oh no, now it's going down, is like approximately zero. They're thinking about, you build a great company, and how do you generate happiness for customers? Wab: You should join the acquired community slack at acquired dotafem slash slack.

We sit down with the CEO founders of two of the most capital efficient success stories of all time — Zoom and Veeva Systems — to understand how they grew to billions of dollars in revenue (and tens of billions in market cap) on very, very little capital invested. With the fundraising environment changing rapidly, we couldn’t think of a better topic to discuss or better sources of wisdom for founders, operators and investors all to learn from. Very special thanks to Jake Saper and our friends at Emergence Capital for inviting us and putting this conversation together at their 2022 CEO Summit!
