How can you scale yourself as a founder?

In this episode, Rob Walling is joined by Yaniv Bernstein (co-founder and CTO of Violet, former COO, VP of Engineering, and Google leader) to unpack how a founder’s role must change as the company grows. From writing the code yourself to leading managers of managers, they dig into the tough transitions every founder faces, and what happens if you don’t adapt.

Topics we cover:

  • (3:27) – How the founder/CEO role changes as your SaaS scales
  • (8:44) – The turning point where systems and processes matter
  • (14:49 – When to hand off marketing, sales, or product as a founder
  • (19:44) – Why setting context is your #1 job as a founder-CEO
  • (28:19) – Why hiring right (and firing fast) makes or breaks scaling
