Episode 411 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Madeleine Smith, CEO & Co-Founder of Civic Roundtable. We all know that building a startup is incredibly hard. But building a startup for the government sector? Many would say that's insanely hard. The reputation of slow-moving bureaucracies, limited budgets, and legacy tech is enough to scare off most founders. However, where others see obstacles, entrepreneurs like Madeleine see a massive, untapped opportunity. True disruption often comes from those who come into the equation with a fresh look and a different perspective. The result, an underserved industry that is hungry for modern tools to help them with their day to day workload. That is the origin of Civic Roundtable, a government operations platform purpose-built for federal, state, and local agencies. Emerging from the Harvard Innovation Labs, the company is already trusted by public servants at over 1,500 agencies across all 50 states. With funding led by General Catalyst, they are modernizing how millions of government workers across 90,000 agencies collaborate and achieve their mission.

Mariano Gontchar: From Evangelist to Facilitator—How To Lead A Successful Company Merger Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. During a complex merger between two telecom companies, Mariano faced the challenge of uniting team members with different cultures, practices, and tools. His initial approach of selling Agile theory instead of focusing on benefits failed because he forgot about the "why" of change. The breakthrough came when he shifted from being an Agile evangelist to becoming a facilitator who listened to managers' real challenges. By connecting people and letting the team present their own solutions to leadership, Mariano successfully created unity between the formerly divided groups. Self-reflection Question: Are you trying to sell your methodology or solve real problems, and what would happen if you focused on understanding challenges before proposing solutions?
