Podcasts about scaleworks

This week's guest is Lew Moorman, co-founder of Scaleworks, a venture capital firm, and Soilworks Natural Capital, an investment fund. Lew grew up in Texas Hill Country, home to some of America's best ranchland, and although he started his career in consulting, he found his passion in venture capital, helping small software companies flourish. Now, he has turned his sights towards one of America's oldest (and largest industries) – agriculture – where he is helping to lead the regenerative agriculture sector to new heights while championing the idea that smart livestock ranching and natural climate solutions are one in the same. Whether it's about innovation in the agriculture sector or how maximizing profits incentivizes sustainability, you'll want to hear what Lew has to say on this episode of Consensus in Conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today on the show we have Paul Lynch, CEO at Chargify. In this episode with Paul, as a venture partner at Scaleworks we talked about their focus on investing in companies and operating them to drive growth, how they decide which companies to invest in and the enormous impact churn and retention has on making their investment  decisions.  We also discussed how Chargify sets targets and the metrics they need to focus on, why a data analyst should be one of your first hires, or not, and lastly... is there such a thing as acceptable churn.As usual, I'm excited to hear what you think of this episode, and if you have any feedback, I would love to hear from you.

Ed Byrne Contributor Share on Twitter Ed Byrne is an entrepreneur, investor and co-founder of Scaleworks. Do you worry about the so-called “kill zones” of big tech companies? The Economistthinks you should.
