Ask Me Anything - Virtual Slack Session with Tech Entrepreneur / CEO from Victoria, BC, Canada - Shaun Jameison
Description changed:
Want to ask one of Canada's most innovative Entrepreneurs a startup/scaling question?
During this LIVE online Ask Me Anything event you will have the opportunity to ask Shaun Jamieson your questions, or simply watch the community’s discussion unfold.
Shaun successful scaled two SaaS Startups and was a Bar Raiser at Amazon.
Here's an excerpt from a interview Shaun did with Techvibes:
"Can you give me a sense of your role and what you do as CEO of your company? What are your goals?
It’s my job to set and communicate our vision and to have the right team, focused on the right objectives, with enough cash in the bank to crush our goals. My main goals right now are taking the product from good to great, accelerating customer acquisition, and building bench strength that I can rely on as we grow. Day to day I jump between product, customer acquisition, and retention. I’m the person who needs to step back and objectively look at what everyone is doing and decide where to double down, or course correct. It’s harder for the team to do that, because they are busy executing." https://techvibes.com/2015/11/13/cix-shaun-jamieson-silkstart-technology-2015-11-13

Some awesomeness...
Here's a taster from an AMA with Kevin Hartz, CoFounder of Eventbrite and Partner at Founders Fund to give you a sense of how valuable they can be:
"Hi Kevin. what tips would you suggest for a founder with no sales experience to landing the first 5 SaaS clients?
Kevin Hartz - great question. Given this is your business and you are obsessing over the product, you are in the best position to sell it.
I always have considered myself a terrible salesperson so i have always had to build a great product for the market.
Founders that obsess over their business will have a 6 sense to know what their first customers will really want.
You also aren't really selling but learning what they really need and buiding it in conjunction with them so it is really partnering with your first handful of customers
I still very fondly remember the bonds with my first eventbrite customers to this date..."
