Miles Grimshaw - The DNA of Software Companies

Lunch with Benchmark Capital: The Playbook to Evolving Your Product Genetics

Your product is like the DNA of your business – it encodes traits that will influence the ultimate shape of the business and its future potential, whether that’s revenue, growth trajectory or beyond. The great thing about software is that, unlike human genetics that take millenia to evolve, you can continue to understand, edit and evolve your product DNA rapidly. As you start to scale, it can be easy to turn to the spreadsheets and stop focusing on the product, and in this talk, Benchmark General Partner Miles Grimshaw will share strategies he’s seen firsthand within companies like Airtable, Benchling, Lattice, Segment and others to evolve their product genetics and win in their categories.
