For the 104th episode of our podcast, I interviewed Chris Lynch, CEO and Executive Chairman of AtScale.
Chris is a serial entrepreneur and operator who has a tremendous track record at building successful tech companies like Vertica, Acopia Networks, Arrowpoint Communications, and others. He also co-founded and was a General Partner at Accomplice, a VC firm where he led investments in early-stage companies.
He’s back into an operating role with AtScale, the global leader in data warehouse virtualization. The company has raised $120M in funding, including a $50M Series D round which was announced this past December and led by Morgan Stanley.
In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of topics, like:
- Chris’ background and what his paper route taught him about entrepreneurship.
- A walk through the different companies and his experience as an investor.
- All about his current company AtScale, including what the company does, the story of how he got involved, and what the plans are for the Boston office.
- How he learned to manage and build sales teams.
- Advice for founders trying to build out their go-to-market sales strategy.
- His charitable work with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation and why it means so much to him.
- Plus, a lot more.
