In this episode, host Joe Beninato and guest Jason Lemkin of Storm Ventures answer viewer questions including: - In your experience, is there a good/systematic approach that your product Dev team should take in determining how the product needs to evolve to match the needs of the larger enterprise? - While founders would love to hire only A+ players, it's a tough market, so that's often easier said than done. What are some underrated characteristics in potential hires that you should consider when you can't hire the perfect candidate? - How can Zenefits possibly be worth $4 billion after just 2 years? - Do you have any advice for SaaS companies that are outside of the SF/SV vortex trying to get traction and raise money in a NorCal centric startup environment?
