About The {Closed} Session
Building a company from scratch is soul-sucking and mind-numbingly hard – but it’s the best thing ever. We know this because we've built a couple ourselves - and we're building a lot more right now.
We’ve made a lot of money for our employees, our shareholders, ourselves – we’re proud of that - and that’s why we want to talk about how it’s done.
Join us – Tom Chavez and Vivek Vaidya – in The {Closed} Session, where we reveal all the joys and sorrows of company building. From the guttermost to the uttermost, we’re not going to hold back.
