About the show
Going In Depth with Scaleup Executives
Great executives are force multipliers. So we found it surprising there wasn’t more advice about what it means to operate as an elite exec. First Round has dedicated thousands of hours to sharing tactical knowledge on The Review and In Depth — and now, on Executive Function, we learn how the best execs lead their companies.
