Cofounding Coupa: Lessons on Building a Billion-Dollar Company
What does it take to leave a stable corporate role, cofound a company in a slow-moving industry, and build it into a category-defining platform worth billions?
Join us for an intimate conversation with Noah Eisner, Cofounder of Coupa Software.
At Coupa, Noah spent a decade leading product, engineering, and customer experience, helping grow it into the market leader in procurement. By the time Coupa went public in 2016 — raising $133M at IPO and debuting with a valuation just over $1B — Noah had already moved on, having achieved what he set out to do as a founder.
He then joined AWS, where he launched its Bay Area development center, scaling it into thousands of employees and fueling AWS’s hypergrowth. Today, Noah advises companies in procurement, AI, and healthcare.
In this session, Noah will share:
How to scale products and teams from startup through hypergrowth
Leadership frameworks that create the conditions for innovation
How to know when it’s time to move on — and choose the right next leap in your career
