Andi: Capital efficiency is a mind set and culture thing more than a business model thing. What are the things that enabled you uniquely, more so than 99 % of start ups, to beso capital officient? eric: I would say probably it starts with a mine set. You have to pick something that most people think is going to fail to be an outlier. And i was encouraged by that, because i thought, well, it has an opportunity to be really good.
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!
