In the immortal words of Andy Grove, “Training is one of the highest leverage activities a manager can perform.”

WorkRamp is the learning cloud for leading B2B companies such as Box, Lattice, Loom, and Intercom. The company has raised almost $70M across multiple rounds from top VCs and angels including Jack Altman, Elad Gil, Initialized Capital, Y-Combinator, and Susa Ventures to name a few.

I absolutely loved this conversation with WorkRamp’s founder and CEO, Ted Blosser, and have no doubt that you will walk away with a ton of actionable ideas.

Topics covered include:

How the company struggled with PMF early on and how they overcame it
The importance of vision and the framework he learned from the CEO of Cisco
How the best SaaS businesses leverage customer education for acquisition, activation and retention
Why “being 10x better” is terrible advice for startups
How to break into an existing market and compete against incumbents
Why it’s so important in this economy for everyone in the company to be a seller
How AI is poised to change education (in a corporate setting and for children)
