Among the difficult things founders have to face, layoffs may be the worst. We sat down with a CEO who draws back the curtain on a difficult but often necessary part of startup life. Join us in today’s conversation with PJ O’Neil, Co-Founder and CEO of Nomad, and investor Gavin Christensen of Kickstart (a VC firm for startups in Utah, Colorado, and the Mountain West) as we bring you both sides of a Perfect Pitch. In this episode, we’ll talk about:

  • What makes Denver and the Mountain West ripe ground for founders
  • Why PJ’s cold email pitch stood out to Gavin
  • PJ’s experience in making difficult layoffs at Nomad
  • Layoffs: what you should and shouldn't do
