Show notes

Dave Hersh mostly bootstrapped a small open-source communications project into an IPO-ready SaaS business that you might have heard of called Jive Software. More than a decade later, he's using his expertise to help turn struggling startups around. Dave shares his wisdom that's captured in his new book, "Reignitition: Transforming Stuck Startups into Breakout Winners," a playbook for the growing startups in the middle that don't want to blindly follow VC money. Dave offers tough but effective advice for getting a startup unstuck, including managing layoffs, confronting past decisions, and more.
