What do you know about third party vendor risk assessment?
Our guest on the pod today is Ishan Girdhar, CEO and Founder of Privva. Privva is an Arlington-based provider of third-party risk assessment tools for enterprises. Ishan shares his story of jumping into the world of entrepreneurship after pitching the idea for Privva in meetings with C-Suite executives and realizing he could sell the solution with just a pitch deck. From identifying the opportunity to actually launching the business, Ishan talks about the challenges they faced hiring top talent, the allure of sales efforts that end up being whale chases, and what he'd do differently if he could start over (note to founders everywhere: invest in marketing early.) You can check out everything Ishan and his team are building at Privva.com and follow them on Twitter @PrivvaInc.
