(Virtual) Mindsets of $1B Founders w/ Ankur Nagpal & Andrew Yeung
Join Andrew Yeung and Ankur Nagpal, for a live conversation on how outlier founders actually think, and where that thinking breaks from the advice everyone repeats.
Ankur built Teachable from an idea to $60M ARR and sold it for $250M. He also founded and sold Carry and is now the General Partner at USVC he backs the next generation of founders. He has seen the pattern from all three seats: building it, selling it, and writing the checks.
Andrew is the founder of Fibe, the media and events platform behind Outliers Summit, Junto and Tech Breakfast Club. A former Google and Meta PM, he now convenes founders, operators and investors across eight cities a year. Few people sit across from more founders annually, or hear more of what actually happens behind the announcements.
Between them they have built, sold, backed and interviewed the people behind some of the largest companies in tech. This is what they took away.
We will be discussing:
The mindsets that separate outlier founders from merely good ones
Scaling to $60M ARR, and what Ankur would do differently
When to raise, when to stay lean, and how far the bar has moved
Hiring your first 10 versus your first 100
Staying motivated through the stretch where nothing is working
Hot takes on what founders are getting wrong right now
