Podcast: Benny Czarny — Build a Company That Outlasts You Through Founder-Led Growth

Benny Czarny is CEO and Founder of OPSWAT, a cybersecurity company he bootstrapped from a San Francisco apartment over 20 years ago. It now employs over a thousand people and protects critical infrastructure across 80+ countries. He is also the author of “Cybersecurity Upside Down” and co-producer of the cybersecurity docuseries "Into the Breach." We dive into Benny’s founder philosophy on patience with product go-to-market, why he views unsolicited resignations as a leadership failure, how he identifies the best candidates by the quality of questions they ask, and why he burns every 30-60-90 day plan he receives.
