A note from Highland's founder.
Seven years into building Classy, I was nearly fired as CEO. We had hundreds of employees and tens of millions in revenue, but I still wasn’t a great CEO.
I spent the next several years making the real transition from founder to CEO, documenting every lesson, mistake, and framework along the way. I didn’t just save my role. Our growth exploded and we set up for the acquisition by GoFundMe.
