NICOLAS VANDENBERGHE

 

Episode 58 features 4x Founder Nicolas Vandenberghe currently of Chili Piper, a buyer enablement platform for Sales & Marketing teams to better connect with their potential future clients. I really enjoyed the conversation a lot and especially the lessons Nicolas shared about the early stages of many of his companies, co-founding a business with John Sculley, having $42 million pulled out from under him, going against big competitors like Salesforce, and much more.
