Komo Sessions presents: What It Takes to Build a $1B Company
Two founders can have the same strategy, market and opportunity and yet produce completely different outcomes.
The difference is rarely what they know.
It’s how they operate.
Over time, building a company doesn’t just test your business skills. It tests your energy, your focus, your relationships and your ability to sustain performance when the pressure compounds.
This session is a conversation with David Shein, someone who has lived that journey at the highest level.
David founded Com Tech Communications as a one-man operation and scaled it into a $750M revenue business with over 1,400 employees, before selling the company for over $1B.
Over 14 years, the business was profitable every single year, without ever taking on external debt.
Today, as a founding partner at OIF Ventures, he invests in and works closely with founders building the next generation of global companies.
In this session, we’ll go beyond surface-level startup advice and unpack:
What it actually takes to build and scale a company over the long term
How to maintain clarity and decision-making as complexity grows
The patterns David sees across founders who succeed (and those who don’t)
The trade-offs that matter at each stage of growth
How to think about performance, not just in the business, but in how you operate day-to-day
This session is part of Komo Sessions where we bring together founders, investors and operators to explore what it really takes to perform at a high level across both business and life over the long term.
