‍Ben Braverman: Sales leaders today are more hesitant today to join a company where they don’t believe the product market fit has been established. The caliber of person you are going to get goes up dramatically. It’s so comfortable being a sales leader at one of these big massively profitable organizations. It’s very hard to make the transition from there to an early stage startup.
