It’s common knowledge that entrepreneurs put in long nights and sacrifice basically everything for the benefit of their companies. But here’s a curveball for you: if the success of your business meant stepping down as CEO...could you do it? Today we're talking to Matt Hoffman, the founder and former CEO of Monarx who stepped away to make room for growth and Jeremy Warren, the current CEO. They'll be joined by investor Gavin Christensen of Kickstart (a VC firm for startups in Utah, Colorado, and the Mountain West) to bring you both sides of a Perfect Pitch. In this episode, we’ll cover:

  • How an entrepreneur can know if they’re the right leader for their company
  • Insights on an investor and board’s reaction to an entrepreneur’s desire to step down as CEO
  • Joining a startup as a CEO, when the company was previously run by someone else
  • The importance of remaining transparent – having difficult conversations sooner rather than later
