How I Closed My First 6 Figure Deal: A Fireside Chat w. Apollo's Alexa Grabell
Monday Girl x Apollo.io
✨ Monday Girl is thrilled to partner with Apollo for an intimate fireside chat with Alexa Grabell, Co-Founder & CEO of Pocus (recently acquired by Apollo).
Alexa built Pocus from the ground up into the platform powering go-to-market teams at companies like Asana, Canva, and Monday.com - and recently led the company through its acquisition by Apollo, one of the leading AI-native GTM platforms on the market.
From identifying a gap in the market as a sales ops leader, to raising a Series A, to scaling a category-defining product, Alexa's journey is a masterclass in building with conviction.
Join us for a candid conversation covering:
Spotting a real problem and building a company around it
Leading through hypergrowth and acquisition
What's next for AI in go-to-market and revenue teams
Lessons for founders and operators navigating their own next chapter
This is a can't-miss conversation for anyone building, scaling, or leading in tech, marketing or sales - grab your seat. 🥂
