1/ Been an amazing adventure running @explorux the last 2 years: advising startups, taking one from MVP to acquisition, & validating the CPO-As-A-Service model. I focused on 0 to 10. Now, I want to turn 10 into 100 & go deeper on scaling.

1. Clients are well trained to look for short term performance. 2. The future is optimistic - if it's credible. 3. Context helps clients understand performance. - Key learnings from @Wealthsimple's redesign by @avrum on building better products. #ElevateTechFest @connectedio
