At TechCrunch All Stage 2025, Jon McNeill, CEO of DVx Ventures, will challenge the norm of prioritizing rapid scaling over sustainable growth. His session, titled "The Operator's Playbook for Building and Scaling Sustainable Companies," emphasizes the importance of validating both product and go-to-market strategies before diving into growth. McNeill draws on his experience, having played a crucial role in scaling companies like Tesla and Lyft, and advocates for a model where profitability and long-term value take precedence over speed, offering actionable insights for founders and investors alike.
Founders must validate their product and go-to-market strategy before pursuing aggressive growth; sustainable success is about building right over building big.
Jon McNeill emphasizes a shifting paradigm where the next generation of companies focuses on profitability, impact, and long-term value, rather than sheer speed.
