Episode details
Episode description
For startups, trust is a rare commodity—it’s hard to earn and easy to lose. In this session, Drata Co-founder and CEO Adam Markowitz sits down with General Partner Seth Pierrepont of ICONIQ Growth to break down the critical role of trust in today’s digital landscape. From 0 to 5,000+ customers and a $2B valuation in 3.5 years, trust fueled Drata’s rapid growth, enabling it to become a leader in cyber governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). Adam will share insights into how he scaled two successful companies, how to build trust with teams, investors and customers, and the secret ingredients that help startups thrive in a competitive market. --- Slush is the most founder-focused event on Earth, delivering actionable company-building advice while bringing together the who’s who in startups and tech.
