Join our first episode taking place on February 1 at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.  We'll be joined by Sameer Shariff, CEO and co-founder of Cambly, and Sarah Tavel, a long-time investor at Benchmark. 

Cambly looks like a sure bet right now, but as you’ll hear from Sameer, it was a struggle to get to this point. After failing to raise a Series A, the company had to change its model overnight, and find a way to keep the doors open. Since then, it's raised a $20 million Series A and a $60 million Series B, but only because the company took the hard steps to seek profitability earlier than expected.

Join the live event to hear the lessons Sameer learned from these two wildly different rounds. Sarah Tavel led Benchmark’s investment, and both she and Sameer will share why both companies were a perfect fit.
