During my time here at the Operto office, I was able to sit down with Steve Davis (more than once and with other Operto team members) to talk about the difference between scaling successfully and failing at scale #scalefail and let's just say this was one of my favorite talks as we're all packing up to head to Orlando for VRMA tomorrow.
If you have 30 minutes to dive in and hear how much depth we can cover in a short period of time, I highly encourage you to do so and let me know what you think!
