Why I Left a $100 Million Business to Build a Startup | Avi Abrams

Avi Abrams shares his journey from aspiring VC to one of the 1st hires in a high growth startup raising $50 million, and how he eventually leaves to pursue his goal of building a business from 0 to 1. We dive into Avi's time at Humi, a high growth SaaS startup, where he led product development during the company's incredible growth. He shares his lessons for building and selling products, understanding customer needs, and being a "mechanical Turk".

We also delph into his decision to leave soon after the $25 million Series B raise to start his own business. But his entrepreneurial path wasn't smooth. He experimented with many products and services before happening upon his outsource recruitment firm, El Niño, by accident. And now Avi's business is in hypergrowth mode in a market thought to be very crowded.

Why I love Avi's story is that many Millennials can identify with at least 1 part of his journey. Most of us can take something away from his insights, especially when we think we've hit a wall or become frustrated with our perceived lack of progress in our career or business.
