The Invisible Layer of Scaling

Elliott GotkineEJG Media LtdModerator
Description
Behind every high-growth company are realities of entrepreneurship that rarely surface in public conversations. This session will explore the “invisible layer” of scaling, the decisions, tensions, and trade-offs founders face that are often left out of success narratives. Through candid questions that are not usually asked, founders will share what it truly takes to build and scale companies: the pressure behind decision-making, the cost of growth, and the personal and organizational challenges that come with operating at scale.
