Building The Machine Podcast Episode 3: Evan Walden CEO of Monday.vc

March 9, 2020 by Eric Friedman

My latest interview is with Evan Walden the CEO and co-founder of Monday.VC who has been building since 2016.

From first selling pesticides to taking on the mission of helping people find more meaning in their work, Evan shares the entire origin story and details of what the team has built.

This is a fun episode to share because we use the software and are customers at Company, where you can see the epic jobs available in our ecosystem over at https://jobs.company.co/

  • How the mission + vision of Monday fits the original thesis
  • Focusing on sales and providing value + charging for it
  • Cracking getting VCs to pay for software
  • The referral loops for the job boards they now power
  • The team, structure, workflow of the team (spoiler alert; its a distributed global team!)
  • Talking through the software stack that Monday.vc uses
    • https://miro.com/
    • https://coda.io/
  • How they measure the success and health of the business

This is a new podcast and I would greatly appreciate your help in subscribing, rating, and sharing.
