He's coached and advised 100 early-stage startups over the past 10 years and was previously the full time Chief Revenue Officer of Polyvore (which he sold for $250M), Quora (where he 2x-ed revenue) and Ethena.


Arnie started his career as a product and engineering leader and became the CEO of a Series A startup, so he knows just how hard it is for first-time founders to figure out sales and how helpful it is to have an expert to guide you through it.
