Many founders begin with a simple goal: solve a problem. But as success scales, new challenges emerge: maintaining quality, building trust, & sustaining growth.
For Kevin Hu, Co-founder & CEO of Metaplane, the path from idea to scaled impact was fueled by a commitment to building trust in data. Driven by a need to address widespread data quality issues, Kevin's journey led him to create a data observability platform that has become essential for high-growth companies in complex fields like biotech & finance.
Drawing on experiences from Metaplane's journey through Y Combinator, Kevin has honed the art of scaling trust in data - a critical element for businesses at any stage of growth.
At this event, Kevin will share how he built Metaplane's approach to scalable, reliable data systems that meet the demands of today's fast-paced, data-intensive sectors. He'll show you how to turn big challenges into trusted solutions, & share key strategies to navigate growth, regulation, & data reliability for your own venture.
Join us on Tuesday, Dec 10 & discover insights on designing growth-ready data systems & creating value through data integrity as your venture evolves. You'll learn how to:
establish & maintain data trust at scale
create a culture where quality & innovation go hand-in-hand
and navigate common data quality issues that cause broken dashboards or inaccurate data
Tickets for this event include food & drinks, as well as exclusive access to this data-driven entrepreneur who will show you how data observability can secure your business's data foundation, support strategic decisions, & build trust with stakeholders.
You'll also meet dozens of other high-performing entrepreneurs who are creating their next big thing. Seriously, it's some of the best founder networking in the city.
Getting a ticket guarantees admission. No long lines outside. No waitlist.
We're meeting LIVE AND IN-PERSON at The Yard, a coworking space at the intersection of innovation, creativity, design, & play -- with locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Philly, & DC -- with a variety of shared & private workspace options. If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a visit, you can do so here.
And don't miss our recurring founder social events over coffee or cocktails. It's a great opportunity for operators to network with each other to share best practices & find new resources to build your startup the right way. See our full event lineup here.
