jeudi 17 décembre 2020 • Durée 29:43

Ruben Harris wants you to succeed. Like other guests on The Operators, he left behind a successful career in finance to build a company that helps people. For Ruben, this came in the form of Career Karma, the #1 destination for career advice, and the easiest way to find a job training program. Bridging the gap between education programs that need candidates and prospective students that don't know where to start, Career Karma makes education accessible practically and effectively.

Ruben is also the host of the wildly successful podcast Breaking Into Startups, a show about getting into tech from non-traditional backgrounds.

In this episode, he gets into the details of who to pitch, how to talk about your startup, and how Career Karma has raised each of its financings, including getting into YCombinator and raising a Series A from Initialized Capital.

Our discussion touched on some of the most important questions in digital media:

How it is impossible to start a successful media company today without having a strong grasp of how technology can be leveraged
How the hardest problems in media today center around distribution and monetization
Why content creation is actually one of the easier problems to address
How increasingly the medium is the message: the iPhone changed media consumption and increasingly it looks like how we consume audio is changing the delivery of media, consumption, and monetization
An analysis on the current state of media and their predictions on where media is headed

Rich Jaroslavsky began his media career as a journalist for the Wall Street Journal before becoming the national political editor as a White House correspondent. He was instrumental in bringing the Wall Street Journal online years ago.

S1E9: Growth - What It Is and How To Get It

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

mercredi 20 novembre 2019 • Durée 56:04

In this episode, we’re talking about growth. Growth means different things at different companies, but correctly identifying avenues for sustainable and scalable growth is a priority for almost all companies. On this topic, we’ll cover:

Defining growth and being good at it
Managing growth without losing sight of the big picture
How companies should approach growth

To learn more, we spoke with two experts in the field of growth:

Isaac Silverman began his career as an entrepreneur before joining the team at Zynga to work on growth development. At Zynga, Isaac focused on some of the most cutting-edge approaches to growth and development. He then moved to Postmates where he focused on growth product and is now the head of rider growth at Uber.

S1E8: Recruiting Your First Hires

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mercredi 6 novembre 2019 • Durée 34:39

In this episode, we’re talking about hiring and recruiting, including why people take the risk of working at early-stage startups, when and how to work with recruiters, and how to make your first hires.

A company’s first hires are often the hardest. Money is usually too tight to pay competitive salaries. There’s no recognizable brand or reputation yet, and people more often want to work at a company that their friends and family have heard of before. There’s also fair presumption of risk and unviability. Who wants to take a job that might not be around in a year?

Startup founders overcome these odds on a regular basis. To figure out how, we spoke with two experts, Farah and Kelly. Farah Sharghi-Dolatabadi began her career as a software developer and a financial advisor before moving into recruiting. She’s been a recruiter at startups in addition to companies like Google and Lyft. She’s currently a senior technical recruiter at Uber and an active career coach at HireClub. Kelly Kinnard is the Vice President of Talent at Battery Ventures, where she’s worked with startups like Wag, Coupa, Fastly, and Gainsight. She also has experience at top recruiting firms and in executive search at Oracle.

If you're going to be doing any hiring in the near future, you can't miss this episode!

S1E7: Getting Press for Your Startup and the True Role of Communications in Tech

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

jeudi 26 septembre 2019 • Durée 52:21

In this episode, we’re talking about the vast world of communications. Early on, most founders and investors focus on driving positive coverage in the press. If they’re unfortunate or mess up, mitigating negative coverage may end being a goal too. But communications also includes more broadly considering how and what information to share what inside and outside of the company. It touches on domains like management, recruiting, marketing, and business development. It’s basically everywhere. It’s also a highly optimizable domain in that the difference between using the right words and the wrong words can be the difference between dramatic success and catastrophic failure. We spoke with three communications experts to learn more:

Sean Garrett was the first VP of Communications at Twitter. He previously worked for Governor Pete Wilson of California and has also co-founded two separate communications firms, with clients including Slack, Cisco, and Disney. He’s currently the Managing Partner at Pramana Collective.

Faryl Ury is a former reporter, with experience at NPR and the Associated Press. Her communications experience also began in government, working for a US Senator, before moving to Square, Uber, and then Dropbox for a marketing role. She’s now the Director of Communications at Aurora, a leading autonomous vehicle company, with investors including Sequoia Capital, Amazon, and Hyundai.

Adi Raval served as a journalist at both ABC News and the BBC, covering 9/11, the Iraq War, and the White House before moving into government. He was first a diplomat for the State Department, serving in Afghanistan, and then a spokesperson and Director of Communications at USAID. After leaving government, Adi was the top communications executive for the Bechtel Corporation, and most recently Head of Comms and PR for TaskRabbit. He’s also a term member for the Council on Foreign Relations.
