VIRTUAL MEETUP: Matthew Ward: How Startups Are Taking Down the Giants with Modern Sales & Marketing Engines

The modern B2B buyer has changed rapidly, but that doesn’t mean the corporate giants have changed along with them. This session of Friday Coffee MeetUp is for Closers. Matt Ward will go over how the modern B2B go-to-market (GTM) engine has changed across marketing, sales and success… as seen through his lens - helping scale GTM at a startup all the way through to IPO (valued at ~$5 billion) - to now as a big 3, Fortune 500 GTM consultant.

VIRTUAL MEETUP: Marie Rippen – Lab Launch: Becoming a For-profit to Achieve Non-profit Goals

Lab Launch began as a non-profit organization to provide lab space to startup biotech companies in the LA area. This is the story of how we went from a promising start, to almost going under, to reemerging as a for-profit company in position to achieve our original non-profit goal many times over. Valuable lessons along the way included the importance of discerning when to be opportunistic and when to stick to a single path.

ABOUT OUR MEETUP

These are weekly coffee meet-ups to increase and enhance the vibrancy of the great Pasadena tech and start-up community. We have a cross section of interested innovators (investors, entrepreneurs, programmers, CTO’s, VC’s, angels, etc) who are eager to more actively engage with other members of our local community. These sessions occur every Friday from 8:15am to 9:30am and are informal. We typically have a short structured presentation on a specific topic or do a deeper dive on a local company. All interested parties are welcome to attend.
