April Koh, Co-Founder and CEO of Spring Health, talks to co-hosts Bob Tinker and Tae Hea Nahm about how a Go To Market Fit playbook enabled her company to achieve 6 x growth for four years running.

Ashwin Ballal, EVP and Chief Information Officer at Medallia, talks to hosts Tea Hea Nahm and Bob Tinker about why he loves being a first customer. While it can be a risk, being a first customer can also bring huge rewards; if the product solves your company's urgent pain, it will give your team the opportunity to champion a brand new product and become a ‘customer hero'.

In today's show we are excited to have Bob Tinker, former founder and CEO of MobileIron, one of the leaders in mobile security. Bob took the company from 0 to $150M in revenue and the IPO. Under Bob's leadership, MobileIron became one of the fastest growing tech companies in the world from 2010-2014 according to Deloitte's Fast 500 Index. Having experienced hyperscale and growth, Bob shared his pearls of wisdom in the book “Survival to Thrival”. He is now the managing partner of Metamorph, a private equity firm focused on B2B SaaS companies.

Authors Tae Hea Nahm and Bob Tinker share more wisdom from the Survival to Thrival book series. This time, how to win your first customers. It's illogical for any customer to want to be your first one so founders can get around that by making sure they deliver real value, make their customers a ‘teaching customer', and ensuring the product elevates a customer's career.

Hosts Tae Hea Nahm and Bob Tinker are joined by Kyum Kim, co-founder and Head of US Operations at Blind. Kim shares how they were able to move to the US with no network and successfully expand the Korean anonymous professional networking platform to the US market. Plus how hosting Silicon Valley parties helped the business grow.

Hosts Tae Hea Nahm and Bob Tinker are joined by guest, Christof Baumgartner, an experienced CRO. They discuss the differences, which  startups should know about, between going to market in Europe and America and how to change the GTM Fit playbook.

Bob Tinker and Tae Hea Nahm dig into how a CEO must change as a company grows. With growth comes role change, and navigating this requires self awareness and critical honest reflection. They share their own and others' experiences and struggles of the growth journey.   

Bob Tinker and Tae Hea Nahm speak to Mark Smith, a rare breed of B2B sales leader who has led teams of less than $1M of revenue all the way up to mega-scale growth of billions of dollars. He opens up about the challenges of those transitions and how he had to unlearn his skillset and roles.

You've started to unlock growth. Awesome!  Now you're terrified.  How do you keep up with your startup as it grows? And not get fired? Hosts Tae Hea Nahm and Bob Tinker explain how 'unlearning' is key. And, it applies to everyone in a startup.

For an early stage founder or CEO in search of product market fit, when do you need to set up sales compensation, and how does this tie into the overall business plan? Hosts Tae Hea Nahm and Bob Tinker discuss and relay experiences on the fundamentals of sales comp.

What are the metrics that tell whether a startup has found Go To Market Fit, and how can you use these metrics to run the business and unlock growth. Co-authors Tae Hea Nahm and Bob Tinker discuss the magic numbers for SaaS businesses that will accurately predict an increase or decrease in recurring revenue and how you can change them.

Finding 'Urgent Pain' and your 'Wow' are two vital ingredients in building your Go-To-Market Playbook to unlock growth. How do you find them, or even know when you have? In this episode Tae Hea Nahm and Bob Tinker use real world examples from startups they've worked with of how the founding teams found these two things before going on to scale.

In this episode, we discuss how to find a Go-To-Market Fit with Bob Tinker, the founding CEO of MobileIron, which was named the fastest growing technology company in the world and ranked #1 in Deloitte’s Fast 500 Index as it experienced explosive growth during a 5 year stretch from 2009 to 2013. In addition, Bob co-authored two books on the topic of building enterprise startups called "Survival to Thrival".

How does a startup operationalize the GTM Playbook? How do you get the whole team aligned with it? How do you know when you need to evolve your GTM playbook or create a totally new one? Where are the handoffs and who owns the project? These are the questions that co-authors Tae Hea Nahm and Bob Tinker answer in another episode packed with real world advice from entrepreneur and investor.

When you’re forced to change what made you successful in the first place? Here comes the understatement of the year: change is hard. Especially when you’re used to being a superstar at your company. So how do you make it easier? Spoiler alert - self-awareness helps A LOT. Listen in as Tae Hea Nahm from Storm Ventures explains why unlearning is such an important concept for leaders as their company grows, and how to make the unlearning process less painful.

Why is it just as important to unlearn and relearn, as it is to learn something in the first place? Because what got you from point A to point B, isn’t going to get you from point B to point C. Bob Tinker is someone who has experienced just that, and in this episode, he joins me to talk about why, as innovators, we all have to change or be changed.   Bob Tinker was the founding CEO of MobileIron, an enterprise startup in the mobile security space that in eight years went from “three people and a whiteboard” to over $150M in annual revenue, over 12,000 enterprise customers, nearly 1,000 employees, and an IPO. He is also the author of Change or Be Changed, his latest book in the Survival to Thrival series. Bob shares more about his experience growing MobileIron, the different hurdles he faced at each stage, and how he was constantly surprised by how often things that used to work, stopped working.   Through the growth of his company, Bob reveals that his job as CEO changed three times during his time at MobileIron, but not his title. He explains how we can ensure that we evolve with the demands of our job, and what swimlanes have to do with your company and your role as a leader. We also dive into the importance of good onboarding, why culture inertia can hinder innovation, and why it’s so important for culture to be well-defined, but not dogmatic and rigid.   If you are ready to: get buy-in from key decision makers on your next big idea be a high-impact, high-value member that ignites change foster a culture of innovation where everyone on your team is bringing innovative ideas that tackle challenges and seize opportunities… Join us on LaunchStreet — gotolaunchstreet.com   Mentioned in This Episode: IQE Assessment Bob Tinker on LinkedIn MobileIron Survival to Thrival: Building the Enterprise Startup — Book 2: Change or Be Changed, by Bob Tinker and Tae Hea Nahm Survival to Thrival: Building the Enterprise Startup — Book 1: The Company Journey, by Bob Tinker and Tae Hea Nahm

Nigel Paine talks to Bob Tinker, author of Survival to Thrival, about his learning journey as an entrepreneur.

with Peter Levine, Bob Tinker, and Hanne Tidnam (@omnivorousread) For consumer companies, often when the holy grail of product-market fit is achieved, the company takes off: magic happens, growth unlocks. Enterprise B2B companies face a different challenge. Sometimes, despite achieving product-market fit (and knowing when you've achieved it) and winning your first cohorts of renewing customers -- growth remains a challenge. Industry analyst maps are riddled with the logos of enterprise B2B companies who built outstanding products, won outstanding initial sets of customers... and then ultimately failed to scale. In this episode of the a16z Podcast, Bob Tinker, author of the book Survival to Thrival and founding CEO of MobileIron, and a16z general partner Peter Levine, talk with Hanne Tidnam all about how to find the right go-to-market fit for the enterprise startup. How do founders avoid that moment of reckoning after product-market fit, but before growth? When should an enterprise startup accelerate sales investments?  -- the "Goldilocks problem" (not too early, not too late!) -- and pick the right sales team and go-to-market model for their product and their customers? And if you're stuck in that moment where growth stalls, what are the right tools to get out of it? What are the important metrics to know both where you are, and when you're out of the woods?

On the latest episode of the SaaS Revolution Show, Alex Theuma takes a break from hosting and Irina Dzhambazova takes over, recording live at the Podcast Studio at SaaStock18. The guest is Tae Hea Nahm, co-founding Managing Director of Storm Ventures. We talk about his book "Survival to Thrival: A guidebook for building enterprise companies and leaders” which he co-authored with Bob Tinker. The book combines Tae Hea's perspective as a VC and board member and Bob's perspective as a founder/CEO and aims to provide advice to founders who want to grow. The book, split into two parts, focuses on the frameworks surrounding a successful growth and in particular what Tae Hea and Bob call the search for Go-to-market fit, and the more personal challenges associated with growing a company, namely the change of responsibilities that the CEO and VP will undergo and the loneliness that every CEO inevitably will have to face and how to counteract that. The conversation mostly focuses on the first part of the book and explores how companies should approach the search for Go-to-market fit but in the end, skews toward the change management aspect of things. Listen on to hear: What Go-to-market fit means What is one thing a company can do to find the right GTM fit What are the signs that the GTM fit includes an effective Wow moment? Tae Hea was kind enough to give us a few physical copies of "Survival to Thrival", which we would like to give to you, our devoted listeners of the show. Send us a message to podcast@saastock.com telling us what are some of your greatest challenges as a SaaS founder and which are your favourite episodes of the show that have helped you address them and we will mail you a copy of the book.
