Growth Breakfast Club: Build the Product, Buy the Trust
Every early-stage team faces the same fork: what do you build, and what do you buy?
Get it wrong, and your best engineers spend their time stitching together compliance instead of shipping product. Get it right, and trust becomes something you can turn on, not something you have to build from scratch.
Join us for a Growth Breakfast Club session in Paris with Christina Cacioppo, co-founder and CEO of Vanta, and Stanislas Polu, co-founder of Dust, for a conversation on why the best-scaling teams are ruthless about what they build in-house, and just as ruthless about what they don't.
What we'll cover:
Why "build vs. buy" isn't a one-time decision, it's a habit the best teams practice early
How Dust keeps whole teams (not just power users) aligned with multiplayer AI, and what that says about tooling choices at scale
Why compliance and governance are the clearest case for buying, not building, and how Dust runs compliant from day one as a Vanta customer
What it actually looks like to scale fast without slowing down for trust
This is a small-room, founder-first format. Expect real talk, not a pitch.
Who should come: Founders, early-stage scaleup leaders, first engineering hires, and CTOs building in Paris and beyond.
📍 Venue: TBC, central Paris — details coming soon
