Growth-stage companies don’t get much hotter than Salesloft, the leading platform for sales reps to execute their day to day selling tasks. 

Put simply, they enable sales teams to drive more revenue. Customers include Stripe, ServiceNow, and Shopify. 

And the company’s leadership team is committed to culture like few others. 

Katie Branham is VP People at Salesloft, where she’s tripled headcount to 750 Lofters in just 4 years. 

Unlike most, Katie & team have developed a crystal clear employer value proposition “we promise you’ll learn more here than anywhere”  which has attracted Lofters in Atlanta & beyond.

Clearly, it’s working…

Investors include Atlanta Ventures, Emergence, HarbourVest Partners, High Alpha, Insight Partners, Storm Ventures, Techstars

Candidates are interviewed to ensure they possess the same core values. In this 20-minute episode, Katie reveals how you can do the same.

Few early-stage companies combine as many distinct components as Tovala.

Based in Chicago, the company pairs a smart oven with a meal subscription service. It truly makes foolproof food.

Weekly meals are delivered fresh to the your door. Scan the barcode & you’re done. Home-cooked meals that cook themselves.

And clearly Tovala is onto something big. 

They’re venture investors include: Comcast Ventures, Finistere Ventures, Left Lane Capital, New Stack Ventures, Origin Ventures, Pritzker Group Venture Capital, RiverPark Ventures, Service Provider Capital, Y Combinator

Mike Mason is Tovala’s Talent Acquisition Manager, which puts him in the crucial role of scaling this hypergrowth organization.

I just had the change to speak with Mike about how he puts a Rockstar in every seat. (And how you can do the same.)

Yum.
