We are excited to unveil a new Box podcast series, Founder Calls. In this series, our CEO Aaron Levie talks to CEOs, founders, and entrepreneurs that have expertise building enterprise companies. Founders face a unique set of challenges at each stage of growth and have to make tough decisions everyday. This series will explore the key trends they are witnessing, the biggest challenges founders face, and the next big opportunities in an ever-changing market.
In the inaugural episode of Founder Calls, Aaron dials up renowned operator and partner at Khosla Ventures Keith Rabois, whose career has spanned Paypal, LinkedIn, and Square.
Rabois shares his thoughts on a wide range of topics from the ability of robots to replace lawyers to the dynamics that enable the spread of virally adopted enterprise software (see: Yammer, LinkedIn, Slack) to the best areas for founding a startup today. He discusses some of his most memorable operational experiences, like reading every single LinkedIn profile back when it was only 50 users (!), and takes a look into a future where automation and computers change entire labor markets.
Take a listen and let us know what you think!
Stay tuned for the next episode, where Levie calls up Jeff Lawson of Twilio to discuss how to build a developer platform.
