In episode 16 of The Startup Playbook Podcast, I interview Sam Wong, Head of Operations at Blackbird Ventures and Partner at the Startmate accelerator program.
Sam started her career as a lawyer, before joining Surf Stitch as the Global Product Manager, growing the company from 40 to 300+ employees. She then founded CapacityHQ, a marketplace for legal consultants that helped firms and corporates deal with surge capacity requirements. CapacityHQ went through the Startmate program before exiting the company just 14 months after launching.
In this episode, Sam shares her insights on the pros/ cons of accelerator programs, the challenges of growth stage startups and why it’s important to think globally from day 1.
