Building a product vs. building a company

A strong product and company culture are important for any startup, but succeeding in each of these areas requires a different set of strategies, resources, and skills.



To understand how founders can balance the two as they scale, we hosted a webinar with Brex CEO Henrique Dubugras and Harry Stebbings, podcast host of ‘[The Twenty Minute VC](https://www.thetwentyminutevc.com/)’ and founder of 20VC, to talk about what it takes to build a successful product and team, as well as the programs Harry prioritized as he scaled his own company.
