David Sacks on building your C-level team as you scale from Series B to Series C. Keep your CTO co-founder, promote your best VPs into C-suite roles, and decide whether existing leaders can manage bigger teams or if you need to restructure and layer in new management.
And by this point, the big themes of building the Series C team are that by this point, you should be settling in on your long term C level organization. So hopefully, you've still got your CTO co founder, but now your VP of Product has graduated to a Chief Product Officer. Your VP of Sales has graduated to a Chief Revenue Officer, or we call this Chief Customer Officer. Same thing. You now have a CMO. You have a CFO. And so your VPs from the series A or Series B either need to level up into the C level skill set, which really requires them to manage, you know, several times as many people, or you've maybe layered them, you know, and that's a choice, that's a decision you're going to have to make as a CEO. These are the types of decisions that come up all the time as you move from Series B to Series C.
