“We basically said, if I was building a company, who’s on the dream team of
people I’d want to access as I'm building that company? And then we put that
group together.”
— Mallun Yen, Operator Collective Founder and General Partner
“To know there’s a resource out there full of people that have beat these same
challenges – a group you can access as you go? You can’t put a price on that
kind of help.”
— Rachel Carlson, Guild Education Founder & CEO, Operator Collective LP
“Whenever you need help, Operator Collective is a one-stop-shop. It’s much
easier, and I truly believe it’s unique.”
— Eric Yuan, Zoom Founder & CEO, Operator Collective LP "If you want to compete,
just having your own founding team isn't enough. You need to have access to the
right information and people to get a competitive edge. Operator Collective
gives you that advantage." — Magdalena Yesil, Operator Collective Senior Advisor
“Operator Collective is solving two problems: It's bringing more operating
expertise to portfolio companies, and it's getting more diversity into the
venture ecosystem.”
— Erica Schultz, Confluent President, Operator Collective LP “This model is
different, and I believe Operator Collective is going to help find and surface
under appreciated founders who can do much better than what the traditional
venture route finds.”
— Tekedra Mawakana, Waymo Co-CEO, Operator Collective LP “You don't just get to
talk to the people that built Salesforce, Cisco, and Stripe. You can't just go
ask them, ‘Hey, how did you do this?’ Only now you can.”
— Leyla Seka, Operator Collective Partner “Startups need real support when it
gets hard. Pushing for product-market fit, driving cost-effective growth,
scaling service programmatically, creating a diverse and inclusive community of
employees? These are in-the-trench challenges, and Operator Collective has a
whole army of folks with perspectives on those exact things.”
— Lexi Reese, Gusto COO, Operator Collective LP “I'm a first generation
immigrant, and I know how hard it is to get ahead when you’ve got a different
background. I want to be able to provide opportunities by investing in or
offering advice to help others like me shine.”
— Li Fan, Lime CTO, Operator Collective LP
“What we have to offer portfolio companies is our skill set and experience.
We're all willing to talk to people and help them along the way. If there's
anything we have to offer, we'll give it.”
— LaFawn Davis, Indeed Group Vice President, Operator Collective LP “We have
visibility on what's happening right now in the world of successful companies,
and we have our whole collective experience as operators. It's very hard to
access that from the outside, but if you have an efficient way to get great
advice on operational challenges, I bet a lot of portfolio companies would sign
up for that.”
— Claire Hughes Johnson, Stripe COO, Operator Collective LP “Operator Collective
is the growth mindset personified. It’s basically taking the best operators in
the industry and putting them all in the same room.”
— Jennifer Tejada, PagerDuty CEO, Operator Collective LP “Most startups are
operationally deficient. Sad, but true. A lot of founders have ideas and
ambition, but don’t understand how to scale a business in a way that's
sustainable, enjoyable, and ethical. Operators that have had those experiences –
learning, making all the mistakes – have so much wisdom to offer these new
companies that hope to be as successful as any of the ones these operators have
come from.”
— Dug Song, Cisco GM, Duo Co-Founder & CEO, Operator Collective LP “Operator
Collective offers two major things. One, we bring real-life advice on how we'd
use their product or company. And two, we can share our experiences and lessons
learned. We’ve got a lot of wisdom built up, and we’re ready to give it to the
next generation of leaders.”
— Christina Kosmowski, LogicMonitor President, Operator Collective LP “Anything
you're going through, we can help. We've been there, done that, seen it. We can
give you a steady and reassuring hand and you’ll know that you'll be okay, and
we'll walk you through.”
— Monique Covington, Rocket Lawyer VP, Operator Collective LP “I love the idea
behind Operator Collective. First of all, I want to help actually build
companies, not just be an angel investor. Plus, it’s this collection of amazing
people – and who doesn't want to be a part of good people bringing the next
generation of ideas to life?”
— Michelle Zatlyn, Cloudflare Co-Founder, President, & COO, Operator Collective
LP “There's an advantage to diversity, and I believe it’s going to help Operator
Collective find and surface underappreciated founders out there.”
— Dan Scheinman, Operator Collective Senior Advisor
