In this episode, Molly O'Shea is joined by Nick Abouzeid, co-founder of Rivet, a newly launched corporate and personal tax preparation firm. Prior to starting Rivet, Nick was a growth leader at Ramp, Main Street and Product Hunt. Molly and Nick deep dive on how to really drive growth, the misconceptions around growth marketing, and the supposed 'secret sauces’ strategies. They also discuss why venture-backed fintech startups need to focus on revenue generation in 2024 and why Nick took on venture capital to scale Rivet in a traditionally fragmented tax prep industry.
