How to Pick the Best Startups in the World, and Win Once You’re There
Conduct After Hours is back, this time for sellers.
The best sellers in the world have two big decisions to get right: where to sit, and how to win once they’re there. Conduct co-founder and CPO Philipp Hoefer sits down with Dan Fougere (Venture Partner at Index, former CRO at Datadog) and Marco Rapetti (former SVP Enterprise Sales, MongoDB) to talk through both.
What we’ll get into
• How to spot a generational company early: the size of the problem, real customer pull, and what to look for in a founding team
• What the early sellers at MongoDB and Datadog went on to build
• How enterprise selling is changing as AI moves into the core systems of the world’s largest companies
• If you were a top AE today, where would you want to be for the next five years?
It’ll be relaxed and unscripted, with time for questions, followed by drinks with enterprise sellers and sales leaders from across New York.
Who it’s for: enterprise AEs and sales leaders based in New York. Space is limited and registration requires approval.
