Startup Conversations in the Couve - July

​Our Guest at July Startup Conversations is Dave Shanely.

​Dave Shanley builds companies the way some people accumulate parking tickets: repeatedly, and with a suspicious lack of remorse.
He started CrowdCompass on his couch and somehow steered it to $25M ARR and an exit to Cvent, where he got a front-row seat to a world-class sales machine on its way to IPO. Then he did the founder thing again with Notion Data, an analytics company that filled a gap, exiting, and running growth at Jama Software as it landed a $200M investment from Insight Partners (PE).
Now he's founder and CEO of Content Camel, helping midsize companies actually sell with the content they already have.
Dave has done the zero-to-one scramble, the messy middle, and the enterprise scale-up—and lived to tell the parts that cost him something. Ask him about finding product-market fit, building teams that last, or when to bootstrap versus raise.At Startup Conversations, Dave brings hard-won lessons on building products people want and getting them to market.
