Building Community That Scales: Lessons from Hypergrowth to Acquisition

​Join us for a practical and insightful session with Avital Knoller, Head of Ecosystem at Orchid Security, as we explore what it really takes to build community in high-growth environments — and scale it without losing impact.

From early foundations to hypergrowth and acquisition, Avital will share lessons from building the community function at Wiz from the ground up — one of the fastest-growing security companies, later acquired by Google.

She'll unpack how community evolves at each stage of growth, and how to ensure it continues to drive meaningful business outcomes along the way. You’ll also learn how community leaders can act as cross-functional “translators,” connecting product, marketing, and revenue teams, and turning insights into action.

Key takeaways for you:
💡 Build for scale from day one: understand how to design community foundations that grow with your company
🔄 Connect across teams: learn how to position community as a strategic partner across product, marketing, and revenue
📊 Show real impact: explore how to translate community efforts into measurable business outcomes
