About

How do you keep up when you go from 50 to 500 employees in a year?

Jesse Zhang shares how Decagon scaled that quickly, from hiring ahead of demand to keeping the company connected as the team grows.

He also explains why the zero-to-one phase is so different from scaling, and how Decagon found its way out of the idea maze in just three weeks.

Guest: Jesse Zhang, Co-founder and CEO, Decagon
